Host is FreeBSD 13-STABLE.Guest is Win 7 which I depend on for Quicken. I
also use it to access a bank account at a bank that refuses access from any
OS other than Windows or MacOS. I managed to access it for about a year by
having Firefox lie and claim to be Windows, but that stopped working. They
make the almost humorous claim that only Windows and MacOS are adequately
secure.

At this point I have no idea if the issue is with VirtualBx or FreeBSD,
but, after seeing more details of your problem, I doubt mine is related. I
really suspect it's VirtualBox, so I will drop out of this discussion as it
appears that I don't have an issue with it. After some more work on it,
I'll open a ticket with emulators_at_.
