Hi All,

I have a RHEL 5.4 Guest running on Windows 7 host, when I run Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) which uses Java, the CPU usage shoots up and makes the OUI extremely slow that is virtually unresponsive. Any known issues???

Cheers

Zed

What makes you think this is a VirtualBox problem?

I searched for the issue on the web and found a lot of people refer to Guest Additions, most advised re-installing Guest Additions. I did this and issue resolved

If anyone else encountered this issue, your best following the Install Guide for Guest Additions to a tee:
https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch04.html

I missed the following first time round, which could been the problem:
yum update
yum install gcc
yum install kernel-devel

If anyone else experience this, first try this:
/etc/init.d/vboxadd setup

This will rebuild the kernel module including Guest Additions.
