windows xp & windows 2000 are super slow

Post by aronu »

I am running virtualbox 7.0.10 on a windows 11 host, and I am running several vm's including windows 95 98 vista and windows 7, all are working fast, but when I tried to install windows 2000 & windows xp it was super slow installation process and by the end it fails, so I downloaded a ready windows xp vdi and it worked but it takes years to boot up and it was legging and every move takes years

Please provide logs from the XP and 7 VMs. For each VM:

Start the VM from full normal shutdown, not save-state. Run until you see the problem happen, then shut down the VM from within the VM's OS if possible. If not possible, close the Virtualbox window for the VM with the Power Off option set.

Right-click the VM in the main Virtualbox window's VM list, choose Show in Explorer/Finder/File Manager. In the "Logs" subfolder, zip the VM's "vbox.log", and post the zip file, using the forum's Attachments tab. (Configure your host OS to show all extensions so you can find the "vbox.log", not "vbox.log.1", etc.)
