It is possible that those are problems with Edit. But, they could be related to VM compatibility. If/When the VM successfully boots the default menu option with all standard drivers loaded, it will run without issue. It will do that for hours or days. Capable or running numerous programs without a problem. At least until a reboot is performed. During a reboot, there intermittent freezes and crashes during boot. The frequency of such problems greatly increase when a different boot option is selected. If the VM successfully reboots, it will continue to operate fine. As for the random freeze after booting, it only seems to occur with the default install when option 4 is selected. As with any other boot option, rebooting the VM is subject to the aforementioned crash and freeze problems. But, if/when option 4 successfully boots and no drivers are loaded, you don’t need to do anything other than wait. No programs need launched. Just wait. Eventually, FreeCOM will become completely unresponsive. The cursor will continue to flash. But, there will be no response to any keyboard input. This includes the VM equivalent to pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL. Since no drivers are loaded, that freeze is possibly related to the freeze that can occur on the boot menu itself. I don’t think a list of freezing programs would help much at this point. Any programs that may freeze could be related to the above issues and not a problem with the program itself. I might be beneficial to figure out which driver or combination of drivers or even boot order of drivers that menu option 2 under VirtualBox prevents the eventual freeze that is encountered with boot option 4. Knowing that may help figure out why option 4 freezes and possibly how to fix or work around the problem.
