As a free program for a non heavy user it's the perfect solution and I still give 5 stars for that.

Setting up a guest OS (Windows Vista, in my case) isn't quite as simple as with Parallels, where much of the setup is automated, but it's easy enough with just a bit of time required to read the online user guide. I also appreciated having more choices in setting up Windows than Parallels gave me.
VirtualBox apparently doesn't offer all the whiz-bang features that Parallels (or VMware) does, but for what I want it has everything I need. Highly recommended!

It's still grayed out - no matter what. And yeah, I have installed extensions pack! Also enabled in VM settings USB ports...
I spent hours on google, found some console hardtyped solution for this, but I don't have time and I'm not in mood to kill my time with such half-baked opensource solution. I'm not blaming developers - they did pretty good job, and this product may be enough for somebody, but not for me. Anyway - buying Parallels!

Is this a known issue or a know feature?

Why you can't get more than one core active could be your virtual machine settings, have you given the virtual 2 or more cores to use?

So no, I did not know what I was talking about. :-)

Really, if you need that functionality, there is perfectly good software that will do it for you - it's just not free. For pretty much any other use, VirtualBox has matured nicely.

Although the manual claims 64-bit support for VirtualBox 2.0.0 this feature is not yet available for Mac OS X hosts.
Nothing I could see in the change log suggests that's changed in later versions either.
Still, for 32 bit guests it easily does everything I need.

"Starting with Version 2.1, you can even run 64-bit guests on a 32-bit host operating system, so long as you have sufficient hardware. "

Why I can't change guest resolution? Max is 800x600 :(
I tried to reconfigure xserver but nothing...
VirtualBox vm -> Macchina -> Adatta la dimensione della finestra and Ridemensiona automaticamente la finestra Guest.
I have the italian version.
For the other.
You must click on the menu Machine of VirtualBox VM at the voice n#3 and n#4

It has to be mounted from the VB menu.
It's hidden in the package contents.
