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

Make sure you enter the command completely - it gets cut if
you copy and paste - this link does work<br>
<br>
<b>wget <a moz-do-not-send="true"
class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.2.4/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.2.4-81684.vbox-extpack">http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.2.4/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.2.4-81684.vbox-extpack</a></b><br>
<br>
But if program says you have latest pack then it should be
fine.<br>
<br>
<b>The other problem might be with your Kernel drivers not
being updated after VBox update.</b><br>
<br>
- Uninstall VirtualBox from your system and re-install with
this command which adds <b>dkms</b> that will sync kernel
updates in future.<br>
<br>
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential
virtualbox-4.2 dkms<br>
<br>
<br>
Some ideas on settings in VirtualBox:<br>
<br>
- Make sure you set graphics memory on you virtual machine to
least 64MB-128MB and enable 3D acceleration if available in
Display > Video menu<br>
- Enable iO APIC in System > Motherboard<br>
- Enable PAE/NX in System > Processor<br>
- Enable VT-x/AMD-V and Nesting Paging in System >
Acceleration<br>
- Enable USB Controller and USB 2.0 in USB menu<br>
<br>
<br>
Hope this helps<br>
