I've tried several times to get one or two VMs working. Win7pro and Mint 17.2
For win7: Everytime during first installation, the VM just stops at least once. Starting over the installation in the same VM sometimes works. Then, windows update starts updating like 280 updates: machine hangs or stops. Reboot results in windows update trying to reverse all those updates. Starting over again. Doing updates again: yeah, finally done. Installing MSoffice: ok. Windows update again doing like 200 updates. Machine stops again. Reboot, updating continues. Finally done. Or not. Random freezes or stops, not booting, sigh...
OK, let's have a go with Linux Mint. Live OS starts, installing.... VM stops. 2nd try, installation ok. Now updating ok. Now lets try to get that display working better (As in: normal resolution). Machine freezes.
I'm reading that a lot of people get it to work just fine, so i'm really wondering what is going wrong here. Any help would be appreciated.
