Hi,

I'm having problems with my XP VM being very sluggish visually.
It's the same sluggish refreshing of the stars! map view, that happens when you have 512 fleets and you sort fleets by ETA (basically a non ID/name sorting).
This same VHD worked absolutely perfectly when I used it ages ago.
I'm using the same hardware, but I guess I'm not using the proper VM settings in my virtualbox.
Any suggestions?

Regards,
Nmid.

ps - I've been having a spate of bad luck with my VMs.. so after losing my nth VM to data loss, I dug out one of my old VHD files.

Solved the problem by re-enabling "Virtualisation" in the boot menu Mad

I had recently turned that off along with various other options in the boot menu, because my laptop was overheating.
.. which was because the CPU thermal paste getting worn out.

Got that fixed and turned virtualisation back on.

Phew.
