Virtual Machine:
"Virtual Box - Oracle VM VirtualBox (formerly Sun VirtualBox, Sun xVM VirtualBox and Innotek VirtualBox) is a free and open-source hosted hypervisor for x86 virtualization, developed by Oracle Corporation. Created by Innotek GmbH, it was acquired by Sun Microsystems in 2008, which was, in turn, acquired by Oracle in 2010." - Wikipedia

Issues and Fixes:
1. Terminals are flickering, blank and/or not showing.
- Disable 3D acceleration on your VM
2. Error: Failed to open a session for the virtual machine Windows 7. Implementation of the USB 2.0 controller not found.
- Ensure the Extension Package is installed along with virtual box if this error shows up. The extension box must be the same version of virtual box or it will not install properly.
