Windows Vista works.

Why is openindiana so ram intensiv?

Hello,

I think you are right. Lenovo T60 has 4 GB ram but only 3 GB can be used for ram.

Hi Elima

This sounds very much like you are running out of memory. Please note that VirtualBox uses all memory assigned to the guest immediatly.

Ah, ok. But:

You must start the Additions from the CD/DVD drive inside the guest to start the installer.

Actually, I had wrongly mentioned the Extension Pack. What you need are the guest additions: https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch04.html <https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch04.html>

Please do see if you can install these and whether performance improves.

As for the comparison between the two different computer models, please compare the CPU, disk, RAM, and virtual memory.

    I read the manual to install the extensions. They are there and
    have a
    hook.

    Can it be that my Lenovo T60 is too small? But openindiana on a
    real HDD
    with the same Lenovo T60 works.
