I think I had the CONFIG flags set to Y already. The BIOS change and a shut down before booting was what apparently solved it. I shutdown the laptop and went to bed, the next morning after booting the machine I fired up vbox and all worked. I have now a fully functional Windows7 virtual machine; it is impressive how fast it boots and shuts down as virtual machine; also everything seems to work robustly. I installed goggle scketch up under Win7 and it works nicely. Thanks for the inputs. -- Valmor
