Environment:

Version of VirtualBox installed : 4.2.6 r82870
Host Operating System: Windows Home Server 2011 x64 (6GB RAM)
Guest OS: Windows 7 Pro SP1 x86 (512MB)
Problem: Cannot adjust base memory of 512MB RAM. Option is greyed out.

What are you trying to accomplish - Installed VirtualBox to run a VM with anti-virus as there are no anti-virus options for WSH 2011. Guest OS of Windows 7 SP1 x86 installed with default settings and trying to configure after the VM was created.

Have you searched the User Manual? Yes as well as Google.

Please advise and thanks in advance.

The guest must be completely shut down to adjust the memory (not saved state).
