close virtualbox interface without closing server

The last versions that I had working solid, I believe were 2.1.0 and 2.1.2. One of my very favorite apps in recent years and BAM - they have just ruined it. I can hardly believe how bad it's gotten. I have to go in and manually kill processes via CTRL-ALT-DEL before it will start again. Unlike earlier versions, when this thing crashes (2.2.0 and 2.2.2), I can't just close the app and restart it. Try to access the local LAN - bam - it locks up. Try to access a USB device - bam - it locks up. 2.2.0 and now 2.2.2 - heck even the original 2.2 betas were full of such problems. It has all sorts of problems with USB and LAN access. I installed this version in a fresh XP install and then did Guest Additions. I can hardly find the words to express my disappointment in these 2.2.x versions. As I have never really ran anything but xp or 7, It's kinda iffy. I'd love to host a stripped-down xp vm from linux, but usb would have to work flawlessly and I only have 2gigs of ram. By the time this matures I might even have the hardware to run it well hopefully. If not, you have to run something very lightweight. VMI's are great if you have a rockin cpu and tons of ram.

Mouse pointer disappears on doing the following. Windows Installer: Can't uninstall BETA3, upg to BETA4 failsġ4. VMM/Guest SMP: Very slow performance on over-commitġ3. Portability: Live Snapshots cannot startġ2. Regressions: Linux Additions several failuresĩ.

Portability: Shared folder path is not absoluteĨ. Host-Only Networking as 2nd adapter, no IP address assignedĦ.
