Please fix VirtualBox 7.0 to be actually usable Please note also: Quality of screenshots is kind of bad, because file is not allowed to be bigger than 100 KiB, and because I am not allowed to post link to external server, so heavy compression was required *sigh* I had to put these attachments into multiple posts, because you can only put three in each post Please see the log files as well as the system specification that I have attached. You have to go Devices > Install Guest Additions CD Image to install the VM driver(for 3d support youll need to boot windows 7 into safe mode). This all was tested with the exactly same VM, on the exactly same host! No weird artifacts in Windows itself this time, but application window appears completely empty, filled with some grayish color – how is this even possible? (please see screenshot in attachment!) This article will examine how to set up and use Windows 7 on a new virtual machine using Oracle VM VirtualBox 7. VirtualBox 7.0.2 + Guest Additions 7.0.2 + "basic" design (no Aero) Windows desktop manager will crash immediately and fall back to "basic" design (please see screenshot in attachment!) VirtualBox 7.0.2 + Guest Additions 6.1.40 fonts look garbled and so on (please see screenshot in attachment!) this is hard to capture in a screenshot though, because it also flickers in a strange way!īut the worst things is: the screen goes completely black as soon as I try to actually start an app, requiring a complete reset of the VM VirtualBox 6.1.40 + Guest Additions 6.1.40Įverything is perfectly fine (please see screenshot in attachment!) It just goes black because it just quits drawing the window.As the title says, after update to VirtualBox 7.0(.2) the graphical output in Windows 7, Vista and probably others is totally broken, rendering VirtualBox unusable!Īll is back to normal after downgrade to version 6.1.40, so this definitely as an extremely serious regression in VirtualBox 7.0 It's actually so bad that I can't even load IE properly to load a web page. The rate at which the window draws makes it very unclear though, I know it's normal for stuff to jump around a bit but when you can view it in real time it typically only stays on top for less than a second. svchost.exe and TrustedInstaller.exe and taskmgr.exe itself seem to be on top often. I can't say there's any one process that is using lot of CPU, it jumps around a lot and each time the window manages to refresh it's a different app. When I manage to get a task manager up, it's hard to make out what's going on as it jitters so much and only updates maybe once every 20 seconds. I gave it like 2GB of ram and 1 CPU, is this maybe not enough? Is there a way to fix this? I usually use XP when I need a windows VM, but it would be nice to use 7. Trying to type something is near impossible. Something as simple as getting a right click menu takes about a minute just for the menu to show up, moving a window takes several minutes etc. Is there a way to speed up Windows 7 in a VM? I am trying to use it in Virtualbox but it's completely unusable.
