Thanks a lot! CPU usage dropped from 100% to 4% with that setting. I also will look into DPAKBD. It would be really good if a helpful FreeDOS developer could add FDAPM awareness to more important programs in FreeDOS. The unlimited CPU usage of FreeDOS programs running in VirtualBox is not a virtual or theoretical problem. It is real and it can cause real physical damage. My laptop was in fact overheating and shut down automatically. Until this is solved, people should be recommended to limit at least the CPU usage in VirtualBox. But even with 40 percent the laptop gets too warm. Have a nice weekend!
