Win 7 is hanging from time to time

Post by cosmophobia »

Hello,

I installed Win 7 x86 Enterprise in VB 3.2.6 r63112 on MacOS 10.6.4.
Now I have the problem, that Win 7 is hanging completely from time to time. After some secounds it's running fine again - Until the next time.
I used the standard-values when creating the new VM and installed the guest-drivers.

My "old" Win XP-VM is still running without problems.
Any idea!?

Ok, it seems that VB has a problem with BOINC.
If BOINC is paused Win7 guest runs well in VB. If BOINC is running Win7 is hanging often.
Win XP always runns well.
