@JamesBond

I upgraded to Virtualbox 5.0.10, alas I get the same result with the Fully Installed Slacko64.

I change screen resolution via Setup Puppy -> Graphics / Screen -> Change Screen Resolution.

Maybe the Windows Vista host is the issue.

Has anyone else tried a similar configuration?

Slacko64 6.3.0 bug

I am running Slacko64 6.3.0 in a Virtualbox (4.3.26) under Windows Vista on an HP 6930p. Every time I set the screen resolution to 1024x800 it resets back to 1600x1200 within a minute or so. I am using JWM + Xorg. Restarting JWM does not fix it. I have to select the resolution from the Setup options...

I have tried Precise Puppy 5.7.1 on three further configurations, all failed to boot & were stuck just before the 'depmod' message should have been displayed. NB The single core allocated to the VM was maxed out at 100% until the VM was closed: The 3 configurations were: 1) HP XW6200 (Dual XEON ...

postscript...

I will try VB 4.3.6 on some of the other pcs (P4, XEON, etc) that previously had problems & report back...

My guess is that the VB peeps have quietly fixed something.

Happy New Year to one & all.

UPDATE... Precise Puppy 5.7 Retro & Precise Puppy 5.7 are now working for me on a Core2Duo T7700 (HP 6910p running Win 7 Professional 64 bit). It would seem to be a combination of: 1) Install VirtualBox 4.3.6 r91406 2) Enable Virtualisation. Select Settings>System>Acceleration select the "E...

Hi Guys, I found a similar problem with precise puppy 5.6.1, but it is slightly more curious than it appears at first because things fail with specific physical cpus running the host environment (in my case, Windows 7 32 bit & 64 bit). The machines it fails on had Intel P4s, Core 2 Duos, Dual Xe...
