Increasing Memory?
So I've setup a guest OS, Win7 with the base memory during the setup. I realized I should probably have more memory, so is it possible to go into the settings and increase the memory? Would this cause any conflicts or crash my guest OS?

Re: Increasing Memory?
Yes, click on the virtual machine, and then click on "settings". In the "settings" box choose the "system" tab and use the slider (or box) to choose the amount of RAM your computer had allocated to it.
This cannot be done while the computer is running, naturally, and I would reccomened not giving more than half of your RAM to virtual machines (i.e. 2GB RAM, 1GB for 1 VM or 512MB for two) but depends on your preference and RAM amount.
