Install the guest additions in the guest. Calling it a bug is disingenuous.

Re: Can't open file dialog and wrong window size
After looking at your video, I see that you activated "Adjust Window Size" and then "Full Screen" (assuming the menu order in Chinese Virtualbox - looks like Chinese? - is the same as English Virtualbox). That setting depends on the Guest Additions, as Lou says, which need to be installed in the guest after the OS is installed in the guest. If you deactivate that "Adjust Window Size" and "Full Screen" you may be able to get the guest window to return to normal size.
You can also insert a CD in the guest CD drive from the main Virtualbox window, Storage Settings, click the CD drive, see the far right side, there's a little CD picture with a dropdown triangle showing. Click that and you can pick an iso for your guest. Do this before running the guest and the guest should boot to the iso.
Try to fix those things before dealing with the 000000000 error.

I really wish users would read the user manual, follow what it says before saying software has a "bug".
but as the saying goes, "if wishes were horses, beggars would ride".

Maybe, but not really useful
If is some VMs for example Win98

Win98 is not a supported guest.

Re: Can't open file dialog and wrong window size
I have the same problem. Happened to me a few times, usually I just reinstall Windows but since I installed it a few weeks ago, I don't want to scrap it. Has anybody an idea of how to fix this? I tried to delete the windows size & position cache via CCleaner, didn't work...
