Windows 7 guest black screen after logging on
Windows 7 guest black screen after logging on
I'm using Virtualbox 6.0 Beta and after I rebooted my computer after installing the guest additions, I log on and the screen is black! The log on sound plays but I can't really do anything much. I can ctrl-alt-delete but opening task manager or cancelling doesn't help at all. How do I fix this?

Re: Windows 7 guest black screen after logging on
Moving to the "Beta/Release Candidates" from the "Windows Guests" area.
Start in Safe Mode (F8 during Win startup). Re-install the GAs. Which mode did you choose for the 3D acceleration, XPDM or WDDM?

So the first thing I did was enable direct3d support and clicked no to install the advanced direct3d drivers rather than the basic ones. How do you choose the mode?

Re: Windows 7 guest black screen after logging on
That's exactly how you choose XPDM (older) vs. WDDM (newer) model. It shouldn't make a difference, I've installed both of them at times, no problems. I've actually filed an enhancement ticket on this (https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/17466) to make it clearer that "No"==WDDM and "Yes"==Direct3D (aka XPDM).
We need to see a complete VBox.log, from a complete VM run:
We need to see a complete VBox.log, from a complete VM run:
- Start the VM from cold-boot (not from a paused or saved state) / Observe error / Shutdown the VM (force close it if you have to).
- With the VM completely shut down (not paused or saved), right-click on the VM in the VirtualBox Manager and select "Show Log".
- Save only the first "VBox.log", ZIP it and attach it to your response. See the "Upload attachment" tab below the reply form.

Re: Windows 7 guest black screen after logging on
You have a hardening error, nothing to do with the Beta. Please read really carefully the following FAQ: Diagnosing VirtualBox Hardening Issues for some generic guidelines/ideas.00:00:59.904810 supR3HardenedErrorV: supR3HardenedScreenImage/LdrLoadDll: rc=VERR_CR_PKCS7_KEY_USAGE_MISMATCH fImage=1 fProtect=0x0 fAccess=0x0 \Device\HarddiskVolume2\Windows\System32\nvwgf2umx.dll: fKeyUsage=0x0, missing 0x1: \Device\HarddiskVolume2\Windows\System32\nvwgf2umx.dll 00:00:59.905939 supR3HardenedErrorV: supR3HardenedMonitor_LdrLoadDll: rejecting 'C:\WINDOWS\System32\nvwgf2umx.dll': rcNt=0xc0000190 00:01:00.549866 supR3HardenedErrorV: supR3HardenedMonitor_LdrLoadDll: rejecting 'C:\WINDOWS\System32\nvd3dumx.dll': rcNt=0xc0000190
I'd start by updating/reinstalling/downgrading my Nvidia drivers. From the official site.

Re: Windows 7 guest black screen after logging on

Re: Windows 7 guest black screen after logging on
No. That would defeat the whole purpose. You need to fix what's broken, not break more things...

Re: Windows 7 guest black screen after logging on
upon looking into device manager it says I have the best drivers installed for the Nvidia driver.

Re: Windows 7 guest black screen after logging on
And upon looking at them with Microsoft's sign tool, you'll see that they have a problem. Look, there's only one solution; find signed drivers. Doesn't necessarily have to be the latest:

Re: Windows 7 guest black screen after logging on
I was talking about my host. I can't access the guest because of the problem. As for my display driver, It's signed. I have Nvidia Geforce GTX 260. Is that a problem? Because I think it's quite old.

Re: Windows 7 guest black screen after logging on
I was talking about your host as well, no misunderstanding there. But, I honestly don't like repeating information that's already there:

Re: Windows 7 guest black screen after logging on
I'm not really sure how to solve this. On my log I keep getting Error (rc=0). Hope that helps.

Re: Windows 7 guest black screen after logging on
Post a new VBox.log and a new VBoxHardening.log then. ZIPPED.
