How do you disable video timeout? VM Scaled Window

Just like the title says, I am trying to disable the timeout the video has on the VirtualBox window,

(When I have a scaled-mode window open in the corner of my screen, every 30 minutes or so the video stream from my VM will freeze and require a mouse wakeup)


Any clue how to disable this so the video stream is constant?

Windows 8 Pro 64 bit here

Turn off power saving features inside the guest?

Seems to be something with the program I'm using for multiple dekstops, Dexpot.

Anyone familiar with Dexpot?

I cannot seem to find a power option or sleep option.

I am only having this issue when using the desktop fullscreen preview option where i can view each desktop as a thumbnail in virtalbox's windowed environment.
