virtualbox.org

I am using a Windows 7 host, Ubuntu 12.04 (Mint) guest. It is working well, but I want to give the Ubuntu guest more RAM. I have 4 GB total, and want to give it 2 GB. (It is the only guest I anticipate.)

The controls on all the setting windows are disabled, so I can only see what is currently set and cannot make changes.

I'm just a week into virtualbox, so I imagine it is something simple.

You have to shut down the VM (not suspend) before you can make important changes to the VM recipe.

Similarly, most PCs in the physical world do not care to have their innards tinkered with while they are running.
