[clue] fix for Win7 VirtualBox issue

[David L. Willson]

Just so somebody says it:

VMware Workstation 7 is a frickin' AWESOME desktop virt product, well worth the approximately $200 new / $100 upgrade. I use it all the time, and I teach on it.

VirtualBox may also be frickin' awesome, but that has not been my experience of it so far. I guess I could say that it's much more awesome than it's price would seem to indicate.

Maybe, I'm on 4.04. In any case, the reg fix in the video worked swimmingly well. Save me some cash on a workstation license. HAD to have USB drives.

I'm a little too paranoid to just do stuff from you tube, so I took several precautions first. What I've been reading suggests that it's mostly only a problem with 64bit, are you running 32? (I honestly didn't think there were 32 bit varities of windows7), but I'm deliberately trying to learn as little about Windows as I can get away with. 

No, I'm running full 64 bit Windows. Haven't had a lick of trouble with it. 

Now, it's possible that it's it's the 4.x branch of virtualbox that's 
causing people trouble - I'd read somewhere about bugs with that code, 
so I"m still running 3.x.
