The RAM is needed for my music software. some people are running 128GB! Guys doing film scores,for example. I'm just a hobbyist, but even I need that much. I'll take another look and see if I can find any other things to tweak. But it's not urgent. I do plan eventually to keep this machine offline permanently. Unless I need more software, esp. orchestral libraries. Most of them are downloads these days. I've tried to do what I do on Linux, but music creation software is heavily specific to Windows and Macs. the software companies just don't bother to make drivers for Linux. Fortunately, since I m just an amateur, I don't need to have up-to-date software. I can make Windows 7 work just fine. The last decent system MSFT made, before they lost their minds. Or got too greedy, or whatever. Thanks for your help! |
Apology for posting another desperate wild guess:
I saw something where Avast anti virus uses (usurps) virtualization for sandbox And something about Hyper-V taking control... https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=91023 (in case something in your Win7 is blocking ...) |

Thanks for all the help everyone, great support as usual! I've already uninstalled VB so no further replies are needed. |
Not wanting to give up entirely, I decided to try VMWare. A very different experience. It works fine. for some reason, my system does not like Virtual box, but does like VMWare. I did have to enable virtualization. Still haven't installed the VMWare Tools yet. I need study up on how to do that. I installed LXLE 18, just to see how it went. Everything worked great! so I may be able to do this after all. Once again, I went with a slightly older version (15) to get a better match for my 7 year old machine, but I may try the current version down the road.
