Yes.

Yes, as far as I can recall, it did.

As I use it (XPSP3) only every so often, just for the Blackberry.
Unfortunately, I cannot find the original *.iso image I made of the
CD and the damn thing is damaged.

No idea.
I stay well away from *anything* with systemd.

I had my share of *registry class* viruses (my definition of systemd)
in the many years I did maintenance for MS OSs for a living.

The thing is that XPSP3 boots but most times refuses to shut down.
The Blackberry programme also seems to work properly.

I thought about that but but discarded the idea.
You may have something there.

I'll have a look.

There does not seen to be a readily accessible forum for VirtualBox
users and that I think you have to have an Oracle account to use the
one I found. (?)

Yes, cross posted.
Sorry.

Not a chance.
The network adapter is disabled.

I'll set it to use just one CPU and see what happens.
Then I may attempt to roll back to the previous version of VBox.
Maybe there's something there.

Thanks for the input.
Much appreciated.

Best,
