Windows 7 guest dies/closed when it sleeps

Post by V_RocKs »

When my Windows 7 guest on Ubuntu 10.10 goes to sleep or is put in sleep mode manually it dies instead of sleeping. When I reboot it tells me that Windows was shutdown unexpectedly and asks if I want to boot normally or in safe mode.

I am running VB 4.0.2.

Common problem. Guests should not use power management or "put to sleep".
