vista froze on guest installation

VBOX:

2.06 or other

Host:

Pentium Dual-Core
Vista SP1 Home Premium 32bit OS
RAM 2G
ACPI/APIC/PNE enabled or disabled

Guest:

Ubuntu or other
RAM 512M

At very beginning the installation just stopped, leaving mouse and keyboard frozen on Vista, so forced to switch off/on the power button to regain the control on the host.

Searched this forum, then found several posts almost about the identical problem above. Finally they turned to VMWare without solution from VBOX guys, then everything worked well. Generally VBOX performs quite well on "older" Windows hosts, e.g. XP + single core CPU.

Could you help out? Thx!

Could you provide some more information, as we ask in the Forum Posting Guide? It seems that you already found some related topics. It would be helpful to post a link to them, so we know what you might have tried to get it working.
