Re: Can I install the regular nvidia video drivers into Wind

Re: HELP Ubuntu host windows 7 guest keeps shutting down

You need to sort out the VBox installation first, see the FAQ's and Howto's.

Re: HELP Ubuntu host windows 7 guest keeps shutting down

vbox4me2 wrote:Run: [VBoxManage showvminfo "VMNAME"], and post results here.
How do I do this. I can not get Virtualbox to even stay running long enough to click on any thing, do not find manager in any of the menus and I get a no command from the Terminal.

I have only recently started using Linux.
