Virtual pc is slow in windows 7

Whats with this? I have enabled hardware virtualization in the BIOS. But coming back to the point. The whole speed thing is just not acceptable. What is the solution? Friday, October 9, PM. Are your VMs located in the same place as when running XP? Different hardware makes a difference. Hi smjain Thank you for your reply. I am running Windows 7 RTM. Both are slow and allthough both are 64bit, they do not support 64bit Guest operating systems???

May 24, 61, 9, www. 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. 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 Trying to type something is near impossible. It's just completely unusable. Is there a way to fix this? 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 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. 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.

It's actually so bad that I can't even load IE properly to load a web page. It just goes black because it just quits drawing the window. Last edited: Mar 24, VirtualLarry No Lifer.

Aug 25, 52, 7, Running off of a usb thumb drive even. This is a clean install. Any time that I've tried it in a VM it's bloody slow. Do you do anything special to optimize it? I'm using iostat and the disk usage of the raid array is 0. Though I'm wondering how accurate that tool is since I had like 5 dd commands going at once and it still shows 0 and none of the numbers changed.

Raid is mdadm. All other VMs perform fine though Mar 7, 1, 0 I don't have this problem with Windows 7 bit or bit in VirtualBox Yes at both 1 and 2. Dahak Diamond Member.

I opted to use method 3 and disable the task offloading in the NIC driver itself since all my virtual machines connect through one NIC.

Incredibly slow network performance problem solved! This worked for me too! Both had exhibited the same problem with slow network in VM. Oddly, copying a file from a VM to a different network drive one sitting on a different physical server , it worked pretty fast.

But it was pretty impossible trying to move even a 5MB file between the host and guest VM, using a mapped drive. When I rebooted, everything was snappy!!!! If only this would be a global concept of mutual help.

Life would be much easier. Me too!
