VirtualBox VM Screensaver Trouble
by Flexico from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6FRW4)
Host OS: Linux Mint 21.2
Guest OS: Windows XP Pro SP3
I've found a lot of old 90's screensavers and installed them on my XP VM; about half of them work fine, but some go way too fast (probably syncing its framerate with the CPU instead of the clock), and some just make the screen black. Is there some setting in VirtualBox that can put a cap on the CPU speed or something like that? I've been struggling to install updates and drivers to my VM as well; not sure if that's related!
(I already tried posting on the VB forums, but when making an account it asked for my job title and income among other things, which smelled fishy to me.)
