I have had luck with sage in VirtualBox with an old XP computer. However, I only have 1 GB of ram, so here are a couple of things to try. 1. As the program comes up hit enter as windows about the keyboard and the mouse pop up. 2. When you get the Sage math software window and things are not running try looking at the "Machine" menu item on the upper left of the dark window. When you click on it if you see "resume" hit that and it restarts the program. I think it is a memory issue. 3. If you don't have a lot of RAM, before you start the "Sage Math software" in Virtual Box click on the menu "Machine" and then "Settings". Click on the system Ram and reduced it. I have had luck with it reduced to 256K. Mike
