Re: Windows 8?

A possible solution that I found worked for me is here: http://wp.me/p275Lt-K
Thanks, I'll try it, but shouldn't uninstalling the additions from safe mode, shutting down, and then unchecking the box (before reinstalling the additions) also be a viable way to go about it? If you don't have a snapshot handy, surely that's easier than reinstalling W8. I had mentioned in my last post of a way to get into safe mode by disabling networking.PartyBitz wrote:A possible solution that I found worked for me is here: http://wp.me/p275Lt-K

I have VB 4.1.10 w/extensions and 4.1.10 GA with wddm driver installed. No black screen. Everything runs ok, just the problems with metro apps not working.
It is weird how this is affecting some users and not others.
I'd like to try 4.1.8 GA again to see if they still work (they did when I was using VB 4.1., but the ISO doesn't seem to be available for direct download. I'll have to install Vbox elsewhere to get it....
Please note it has to do with windows 8 video, the video is either basic or full areo. so you must put 128 meg memory and enable 3d video. Also for those of you in a linux host you must enable under the processors tab extended features PAE/NX, or it will not even run the Installation.boulderados wrote: I am having the same issue with the black screen.
Windows 8 CP works fine in VB 4.1.10 as long as the Guest Additions are not installed. Once installed the system starts up into a black screen.
I have tried various different options and will continue to experiment to see if this could resolve the issue.
For the record my host is Windows 7 x64 with 4GB of memory.
