I believe in the docs > it says there's not much to gain in cranking up the video RAM. I had some problems with higher res. video modes, like 1280x1024 so thought I'd up it a bit. Once things are going tickity-boo I might try scaling back resource allocation to see what is sufficient. > In your VM's task bar, Do you mean the guest's (i.e. WinXP's) taskbar? > any memory hungry drives running?

Yeah, that's what I was thinking too, but cranking up the allocated memory didn't seem to have any measurable effect on that and really, 512MB should be fairly sufficient for WinXP. This is a pretty new installation so it hasn't had much time to accumulate "phantom process" (i.e. all those little processes that want to sit in the taskbar just in case you want to run them). b.
