Regarding kernel panic, could you please attach output of kextstat (launched before starting VM) in addition to kernel panic.
I finally saw something like this. Actually it was after a log time of inactivity. When coming back to life (host was in blank screen due to inactivity) the guest freaked out. Flickering and going all kinds of crazy until WDM finally crashed. I double checked and sure enough I had disabled screen saver on the guest but had not checked the power management. Changed it from normal to high performance stopped the issue from coming back. Other than that it seems really stable for me.misha wrote:No, what I'm seeing here is that after wddm driver uninstall the explorer.exe process terminates, i.e. no taskbar, desktop icons, <win>+hotkey support until explorer.exe is manually started.Perryg wrote:..I did notice a flicker during the video driver install but this has always been the case IIRC. Is that what you were talking about when you said explorer crash?
Edit: Oh man, I had to move the cursor up a bit so it goes to darkish/grayish background and the thumbnail stays there until I click it 2nd problem: The pinball fx game. When I tried it, it was really sluggish, and I mean really sluggish it needed like 5 minutes for all the pictures(the company who made it, ESRB rating etc) to pass and I think i exited. Then I thought it's because I don't have the Guest Additions, installed them and now i can't even start the game. It seems to stop working on the first screen and I'm switched to desktop. 3rd I can't change the resolution O_O

I hope this is the right log file, from July 4th.misha wrote:Thanks for the info. Could you also attach a VM log file here?
And yes, you can just keep watching this thread for updates.
Which version of VBOX and the guest additions installed? What is the host os? Which graphic card (real hardware)?ordej wrote: 2nd problem:

Edit: nevermind, switching to fullscreen made the resolution normal aswell
HOWEVER I STILL CAN'T FIX THE 2ND PROBLEM!
2nd problem irrelevant since that was on the consumer version, I now installed the release preview version and there seems to be no pinball (at least not on the desktop)stefan.becker wrote:

Edit: I tried installing the guest additions again and the problem of slow responsive OS happened. It take 5-10 seconds to switch between tiles(rolling over the mouse over them only). This seems to screw up the Metro interface only, since the desktop version works fast. [edit2] the problem of slow responsive OS disappeared after i added more CPUs and more ram to the GPU. But the initial problem still stays |

This is a known issue, i.e. the autoresize feature does not work for win8 with disabled 3D.hawkeye62 wrote:New user here. I am very impressed so far. I have VirtualBox 4.1.18r78361 installed on a Windows 7 Pro 64-bit OS. PC is Intel Core i7 2.8 GHz, 6 GB ram, Radeon HD 5770 with 1 GB memory..
I have Windows 8 CP and RP 64-bit installed in VirtualBox. Guest Additions are installed with 3d acceleration off and 2d acceleration on.
Both installations run with no problems in Window mode at 1152 x 864 resolution.
But, if I try higher resolution, the window ends up with scroll bars. But even worse, If I try to run full screen, the Windows 8 display remains the same size and the rest of the screen is white space. And if I try to drag the window to a larger size all that happens is that white space shows up as a border around the Windows 8 display.
Host resolution is 1680 x 1050 running on a Samsung SyncMaster 226 BW.
Any help on getting full screen mode to work will be appreciated.
Thanks, Jim
Thanks for your reply. I couldn't find anything that looked relevant by searching the forum.

We have fixed it locally already, and should be able to provide you with a test build containing a fix shortly.
Thank you very much Perryg! I don't know how you got this intuition, but indeed it was my download who was broken.Perryg wrote:@Romain Buquet,
You need to check the checksum of your download. It looks like it is corrupt.
