  to restart the virtual machine in the hope of returning it to its working
  state.</p>

    for the box. If the box is open, click the
    <gui style="button">Properties</gui> button in the header bar. The
    properties view can also be accessed from
    <link xref="interface#selection">selection mode</link>.</p></item>

    corner.</p></item>
