I have encountered many Kernel Panics since then. But now that 4.2 beta 1 is out, I will update to that and also uninstall then reinstall the newest guest additions and see how that works out on Mountain Lion. Thanks.
PS. It isn't yet compatible with ML Gatekeeper.


I installed 4.2b1 and then went to start my VM ( 64-bit Win 8 ) and it just sat at the first screen indicating windows was loading. Black screen with the word "Windows" and underneath it has the loading circle animating. Never did boot up. I then Reset the VM, and it still won't boot. The option to power it down is grayed out. I was able to get it working by control-clicking the icon in the Dock and Quitting the VM. It then asked how I wanted to shut it down and I chose to power down and checked to restore to my snapshot. Starting the VM again caused it to boot successfully.
This is extremely frustrating! So many bugs it's incredible. Completely unusable. Uninstalled Guest Additions and it would not work. Black screen, half the screen showing in the window, etc. I tried to install the 4.2 guest additions, but even after that, it still has huge problems. I can't even install the newer guest additions because it is so unusable. Scaled mode doesn't work - black at top and flashing graphics at the bottom. Full screen and Seamless work sometimes. Drag and drop does not work. When in Seamless mode, right clicking the background does not affect the guest, it affects the host. At least copying and pasting works though, but you cannot copy a file on Mac and paste it into Windows, only text. Arrrgghh!
Ok I got the guest additions that you said was newer than the beta 1 additions, but after installing it, it still says it is 4.2.0_BETA1, version 4.2.0.0 in the Windows uninstall control panel. Is that expected? It appears to be working better now.
