Post by coudy »

hello,
I have Virtualbox 2.2.2 on Ubuntu 9.04. Guest OS is Windows XP SP3. My Guest OS freeze several times per day. Yesterday I added 2GB RAM to my PC and changed virtual OS RAM from 350MB to 1024MB. Guest OS freeze before too, but now it is more often.
Ram is OK, because, my host OS is stable.

Usb 2.0 can be problematic, 1.0 is fast enough to sync though. If 2.0 doesn't work stick to 1.0
