Paging the VirtualBox-isti

I'm running an XP SP3 install in a VirtualBox under OSX Leopard which
works fine, apart from the input lag. I find that when I move the
mouse in the VirtualBox that the input is a bit jumpy or sluggish.

Obviously on the rare occasions when I boot my MacBook Pro into XP
this isn't an issue, it's only in the VirtualBox. Is there a setting
somewhere that I've missed which would reduce this input lag?

Thankyee.

 

FWIW it's not a problem on VM Ware

Hrm, VirtualBox = £0, VMWare Fusion = $80.

Wonder if MS VirtualPC is like.

 

Really?

So it is. Never noticed.

It does, OTOH actually work

I was going to suggest Parallels, but it appears that they charge for
that now.

I suppose you have asked at virtualbox.org ?

using version 3.0, or have you changed to 3.0.2 (speed issues with Solaris
main fix I think).

however I did notice a few people moaning about MacOS issues with 3,x
tried 2.2.4 ?

 

Have you installed the guest additions?

 

what's wrong with bootcamp, FFS?

 

I'm running an XP SP3 install in a VirtualBox under Ubuntu 9.04 which
works fine. There's no input lag.

That doesn't solve your problem, but at least it's not a generic problem
with VB.

 

Nothing, but if I'm testing a website in Mac Safari then in Windows
Safari I don't want to have to reboot into XP then back into Leopard
repeating that all day.

 

I'll look at the forums later on or later in the week then. I'm on
the latest version already.

 

Ping me at work tomorrow and I'll have a look at the internal archives

 

Parallels?

How much time you wasting currently?

 

I don't believe I'm wasting any time, my query is that I don't like
moose lag.

 

Not taking any time trying to fix it?

You could say that about a lot of paid for software.

 

You could indeed.
