| 7 | <p>When you select a virtual machine from the list in the VirtualBox Manager window, you will see a summary of that
|
|---|
| 8 | machine's settings on the right. </p>
|
|---|
| 9 | <p>Clicking on <b outputclass="bold">Settings</b> displays a window, where you can configure many of the properties
|
|---|
| 10 | of the selected VM. But be careful when changing VM settings. It is possible to change all VM settings after
|
|---|
| 11 | installing a guest OS, but certain changes might prevent a guest OS from functioning correctly if done after
|
|---|
| 12 | installation. </p>
|
|---|
| 13 | <note>
|
|---|
| 14 | <p>The <b outputclass="bold">Settings</b> button is disabled while a VM is either in the Running or Saved state.
|
|---|
| 15 | This is because the <b outputclass="bold">Settings</b> window enables you to change fundamental characteristics
|
|---|
| 16 | of the virtual machine that is created for your guest OS. For example, the guest OS may not perform well if half
|
|---|
| 17 | of its memory is taken away. As a result, if the <b outputclass="bold">Settings</b> button is disabled, shut
|
|---|
| 18 | down the current VM first. </p>
|
|---|
| 19 | </note>
|
|---|
| 20 | <p><ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> provides a wide range of parameters that can be changed for
|
|---|
| 21 | a virtual machine. The various settings that can be changed in the <b outputclass="bold">Settings</b> window are
|
|---|
| 22 | described in detail in <xref href="BasicConcepts.dita#BasicConcepts"/>. Even more parameters are available when
|
|---|
| 23 | using the <userinput>VBoxManage</userinput> command line interface. See <xref href="vboxmanage.dita#vboxmanage"/>. </p>
