Post by riahc3 »

Im trying to make a virtual machine without ACPI enable. I find refrences to it thruout the manual but I cannot see the option to disable it. Where can I do it?

Thank you

Why on earth would you want to lose the ability to send a power down signal to a guest?

Anyway, the command would be "VBoxManage modifyvm <vm-id> --acpi on|off". It's in the manual.
