How to disable the Auto Pause in the new Virtual Box 4.0?
My Virtual Machine really should not pause when I'm not using the computer.
Thanks!

Re: Auto Pause
VirtualBox is not the issue. Turn off the power management in the guest.
Actually you don't even need the screen saver as the host will take care of that for you too.

Re: Auto Pause
Strictly speaking that's true.VirtualBox is not the issue
However after installing the V4 guest additions auto suspend is available in the power management options of Windows guests. That was not the case with the V3 GA. So just installing the V4 GA over the V3 GA can cause a change in behaviour of the guest.
