leaving windows installation for awhile makes my cursor not move but windows is moving.

Post by VirtualMachineLover »

i did a repost because no one responds,
before. I tried installing Win7 for the template then for a while, i cannot move my cursor and windows is permanently stuck on a installation then i got mad, this happens also to windows 8.1
does anyone know why it happens?
Here's my specs:
Gpu: Amd Radeon r3 graphics
Cpu: Amd a4-6210 with radeon r3 graphics
Host Machine: Win 10
Guest: Win7 And 8.1

I extracted the log from my win7 but 8.1 is lost.
btw do i have to checkbox nested amd-v vt-x? I am using amd cpu.

- Are you trying to use a separate USB connected Mouse with the VM instead of sharing the Laptop's own Mouse?
- If 'Yes', does the Host Laptop show that it has ownership of the Mouse?

Sorry if I confused you, I couldn't make out from the original description of your problem whether the Mouse was simply the host Mouse which should integrate normally between the Host an Guest with the correct settings or a separate Mouse that had to connect for the sole use of the Guest VM via a USB Filter. All I could pick up from the log was that the Mouse appears to be connected via a USB Hub device.

Your last message attachments show the mouse pointer 'freezing' while attempting to run the Windows installation (Windows Repair?) facility which seems unusual.

What is the Mouse Pointer Device setting in your Windows 7 VM Template? The setting for all my Windows VMs is "USB Tablet" and I've never experienced a problem when using that setting. Could you also try attaching the mouse directly to a USB port on the laptop (if you haven't already) to test if that makes any difference to the behaviour.

Maybe USB Tablet. I leave windows 7 for a while and vm freezed (the youtube video i sent you) and i shut down the vm completely cause the virtualbox freezes. I am always thinking do i have to enable nested paging of amd-v? I am using Amd-v btw Or is my laptop weak? i am able to install xp to below guests only...

Your VM is trying to use more memory than you have available in your host.

Code: Select all

00:00:28.523958 Host RAM: 7103MB (6.9GB) total, 1671MB available
00:00:29.278269   RamSize           <integer> = 0x0000000080000000 (2 147 483 648, 2.0 GiB)
Try freeing up some memory on your host - i.e. shut down your web browser, e-mail etc and also configure your VM to use 1.6GB RAM.

You could also add another CPU to your configuration with only 1 currently configured.

i don't understand why i got 7103 mb of ram. I got 8gb of ram
also i need to add 2 cores in my vm? and also nested paging of amd?
i did again with xp then freezed, to fix is to restart the vm. Whats going on? Win xp is 192 mb of ram
