FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

• Can I use the Windows VirtualBox to install video games or other Windows-specific programs?
  • You can at your discretion, but it is highly not recommended. It will be slow and almost impossible to use.
• Why is it so slow?
  • VirtualBox is a free program from Oracle, therefore it is not the fastest machine to use-- especially if you are on a MacBook Air or something that has a lower RAM. It is recommended that when you are using the Windows side that you don't switch back and forth between viewing the Mac system and the Windows system (even to answer iMessages). This can cause it to move slower.
• Can I uninstall VirtualBox when I'm done using it for a class?
  • Yes, you can uninstall from your computer by following these steps:
    • Open the VirtualBox program
    • Right-click on Windows2004 on the left side
    • Click Remove > Delete all files
    • Allow VirtualBox to finish deleting the file
    • Once that's removed, go to your Applications folder (Cmd+Shift+A while on the Desktop)
    • Drag and drop VirtualBox to the trashcan
• Are there any other options to use @Risk, PrecisionTree, or other Windows specific programs if I don't want to install this big program?
  • The computers in the MOD Lab and NRG all have these applications available for use.
