Help, VB is slow.

Post by Mario2012 »

I have Mac OS X 10.6.4 and I downloaded Virtual Box to install Windows 7; and as soon as Windows 7 starts installing, it lags.
I could not even get my cursor to get displayed in the VM.

My Specs:

Mac OS X 10.6.4 (Main OS)
RAM: 2GB
Video Card: ATI Readon Pro HD 256 Dedicated MB
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo @ 2.66GHz

Any ideas?

Guest Additions are installed?

What is the exact guest config (RAM, VRAM)?

I fixed it.

It was my display settings. Forgot to set the Video Ram.


On the other hand, may I ask how to resize the area that the VM is in? (When resizing the window, the VM does not expand with the window.

Thanks!
