This VM is so badly configured that I'm surprised by your claim that it ever worked.

Disable Hyper-v on the host if enabled. Then enter the host BIOS and make sure VT-x is enabled.

I'm surprised you didn't give the VM 2 cores, since you have a quad core i7 host. Like any PC the VM will seem to run a lot smoother if the the OS has a dedicated core it can use for background tasks while a second core looks after you.

18MB graphics RAM is not enough for a modern graphically oriented OS. I would increase to 128MB.

200GB is IMHO a tad big for the primary hd of a Win7-32bit VM. Still, hopefully your host can afford it, and its certainly better than being too small.

You seem to be selecting a 24bit graphics mode in the guest. This is almost certainly incorrect. Your host is almost certainly using a 32bit graphics mode so if you want to avoid software conversion overhead then the guest needs to be using a 32bit color mode as well.

The extension pack is not installed: USB2 and USB3 will not be available.

The Guest Additions could do with an update.
