    virtualbox

    Hello,

    The system finds VirtualBox and suggests to uninstall it manually, to run the update, but I am unable to find any app/program containing it. It's not shown in the Uninstall or Change the Program list. I do not have any Oracle installed on my PC either.

    Kind regards,

    TK

    VirtualBox unable to allocate and lock memory

    Can't get full memory allocation

    Yes I've tried, even going as low as 4GB results in the "Memory Lock failed".
    Stepping down to 3GB, below the 3328MB it does work.
