Post the guests log file ( as an attachment ). Right click on the guest in the Main Manager then click show log. Save and post as an attachment. Compress if it is too large to post.

Probably a combinaton of :-
  • Typical new Windows install blues (lots of updates and indexing going on).
  • No Guest Additions installed == graphics apps not happy bunnies.
  • Something on the host seems to be eating I/O bandwidth.
