I had one Vbox VM with Win98SE working acceptably.

One day, I started the VM and it wouldn't boot. It'd just freeze at
the win98 boot logo (the scrolling color pattern at bottom of the
screen would stop).

So I selected safe mode. And it booted OK.

Then I rebooted, same hang.

Then I started fidding with the "advanced" options. I don't remember
what I changed anymore, I think I disabled all checkboxes in the
"Advanced" tab, including AMD-V and all the four-letter acronyms, ACPI
and stuff.

Now Win98SE boots but performance is GLACIAL.... I can see windows
being drawn on the screen with text written one letter at a time...

I really would like to save the hassle of doing the VM from scratch
once again. Any ideas?
I'm also going to install the freeware Scitech Display Doctor to see
if it improves anything. But the whole VM seems glacially slow,
specially disk access. Any idea of where to look?
