Generally, it will be the vbox.log, if the VM was running but was having trouble. Or if the VM has a Guru Meditation.

If an error message pops up that mentions the VBoxHardening.log, then you can post that one. You can also check the hardening log's last lines, after all of the VM's windows and error popups are closed: if it mentions an exit code of 0, then there were no hardening problems and we wouldn't need the hardening log.

I can't find how to post to this forum. I'm registered, I've searched, I've read, I found the "Reply" button here and so I'm posting here.
