As they used to say at my school - 4 into 2 won't go. Reduce to 1024MB, and try to free up a lot of host RAM.00:00:30.853177 Host RAM: 7364MB (7.1GB) total, 2199MB (2.1GB) available
...
00:00:32.892226 RamSize <integer> = 0x0000000100000000 (4 294 967 296, 4.0 GiB)
Win7 could do with a second CPU core too, and a good deal more than 27MB graphics RAM.
You need to pay attention to the resources you assign to a new VM. In particular make sure your host can afford it. The log is actually probably the easiest place to find that out (the above lines are right near the beginning).
