196 display memory (vram) set too low to function

[jpstacey]

Detect the display memory setting, and increase it if less than 64MB.

On certain VirtualBox setups, the default display memory setting for
newly imported boxes is 16MB, lower than the minimum 18MB suggested by
VirtualBox's own graphical UI. This can cause boxes to hang on boot,
preventing ievms.sh from configuring them and even hanging the host.

I think I'm experiencing the same problem, but your changes don't work for me. I've even tried to increase VRAM to 128MB, but no luck. Perhaps you have some other ideas about the cause of these errors?

Actually it seems like some kind of a timing issue. I've managed to install IE8 successfully by pressing CTRL+Z and resuming it when I saw in VB VM preview that XP was fully booted. Seems like it might not be related to your issue.

It was also a timing issue for me rather than a video ram issue, as noted in #226
