There are many different virtual machine programs you can use.
Also, when many virtual machines are running at the same time on a single computer, performance can become unstable.
Since hardware resources are indirect, they are not as efficient as a physical computer. There are a few drawbacks with virtual machines.
Each piece of virtual hardware is mapped to real hardware on the host computer. Virtual machines have virtual hardware, including CPUs, memory, hard drives, and more. Often a server will use a program called a hypervisor to manage multiple virtual machines that are running at the same time. Virtual machines are also used to quickly set up software with an image, access virus-infected data, and test other operating systems.Ī single physical computer can run multiple virtual machines at the same time. For instance, if you are using a Mac computer you can run Windows programs inside a Windows virtual machine on the Mac computer. Virtual machines are often used for running software on operating systems that software wasn't originally intended for. This means that nothing that runs on the virtual machine can impact the host computer. Virtual machines are sandboxed from the host computer. It is basically a way to create a computer within a computer.Ī virtual machine runs in a window on the host computer and gives a user the same experience they would have if they were using a completely different computer. Notice*: First you must choose the VirtualBox guest OS window, then un-capture keyboard and mouse by pressing "Right Ctrl" key once and use your shortcuts keys to capture.A virtual machine is a program you run on a computer that acts like it is a separate computer. When this done, you can use your shortcuts keys " PrintScreen" to capture the entire screen or press " Alt + PrintScreen" simultaneously to capture the active* VirtualBox guest OS window. So we need to un-capture keyboard and mouse by pressing Right Ctrl key once, and the " green down arrow" becomes as " black down arrow".Ģ. When this happens you can see a "green down arrow" at the right bottom of your guest’s OS window, that indicates your keyboard and mouse has captured by guest OS.ġ. Then I notice that when I try to choose the guest OS, my keyboard and mouse automatically captured by the guest OS. If you have perform installations of other operating systems, using Sun VM Virtualbox and you want to capture the screen of your guest operating system and using "PrintScreen" or "Alt + PrintScreen" does nothing, use the solution below to solve this problem.įor this article I have setup a Vbox Environment (Version 4.1.20) in my Windows 7 host operating system to install Windows XP as the guest operating system and I had also installed the "Guest Additions".
