Sorry, Christiaan, motherboard base memory is set to 192MB and video
memory to 16MB. Bottons remain dead.

Hi Christiaan,
Graphics memory is set at 1Mb and does not allow me to adjust.
None of the buttons on these settings in Vbox are "live"
If I re-install, can I save my current work on Vbox to not lose any data?
