virtualbox - Keyboard not working in oracle vm virtual box

Question

I am installing the above mentioned vm on my windows 7 system. While trying to install linux on the vm during the installation, after I press enter once and the installation begins, keyboard stops working in the vm and hence I cannot complete the installation (asks for root password and stuff).

I tried to google and find solution, but the various troubleshooting tips didn't help.

Answer 1

Power Off the VM and change the "Video Memory" under the Display module to 128 MB. In mine, I forgot to increase it and it was just 12 MB but after increasing it to 128 MB. It worked!
