VirtualBox very slow

[victorgonzalo]

Hi everybody

I have purchased CL a few days ago but when I try to play it in my Mac using Virtual Box it has a lot of mouse lag. Any idea, trick or suggestion in order to fix the issue? I have tried to find something on internet before but have nothing found

Thanks a lot for your help in advance.

You may watch this video prepared by the staff of De La Salle University who use Capitalism Lab for teaching for running CapLab under VirtualBox: https://youtu.be/Qn4Jm-qMNcE and see if it will resolve the problem.

Hi David

Thanks for your answer. I have followed the video and there is nothing on it about how to improve the performance. In fact, they have the same problem. If you go to minute 21.35 https://youtu.be/Qn4Jm-qMNcE?t=1286 you may see the same problem. There is an evident lag in the mouse pointer. In my case is even worse and I have tried with many configurations already.

I do know that CL is for Win but I would love to find a workaround to solve these issue.

Thanks for your help in advance.

You may try modifying the compatibility settings of the launcher and main program of Capitalism Lab - CAPSTART.EXE and CAPMAIN.EXE in the following way:

1) Right-click on the program icon to open the properties window.
2) Select the “Compatibilities” tab and enable the Windows XP compatibility option.

Thanks David

Did that already days ago and nothing and I have tried as well many different configurations (Within Vbox app and the Virtual machine itself).

Really appreciate your help
