Start the VM from full normal shutdown, not save-state. Run until you see the problem happen, then shut down the VM from within the VM's OS if possible. If not possible, close the Virtualbox window for the VM with the Power Off option set.
Right-click the VM in the main Virtualbox window's VM list, choose Show Log. Save the far left tab's log and the hardening log next to it, zip them, and post the zip file, using the forum's Upload Attachment tab.
Hello scottgus1,
Sorry for coming back to you 10 days later. It is my first post here and I thought I would receive an automatic notification email in case of response.
Thanks for insisting in the Guest Additions checking: That was indeed the problem. I didn't realize they didn't really get installed the first time in this second Windows WM I have ever created. Now the problem is completely solved and everything works amazingly well. I even tend to forget I am accessing to my 'old' Windows from Linux. I'm just feeling so grateful to VirtualBox to enable me to use Linux full time!!
I checked the log you mentioned in the way you mentioned and I saw that the Guest Additions were indeed missing. Then I "inserted" again the Guest Addtions image from the Devices menu option. And the installation started. But at some point it crashed. However, the Guest Additions were successfully installed or at least they work fine for me. Even they crated an icon in my Windows systray.
I just attach you a screen capture of the crash moment and the log that it is mentioned there (despite the name is not the same -in the directory there is only this log I am attaching-).
My hardware is a Dell XPS 15'' 9560 laptop. Before installig Linux, I had to disable the "Intel RST" RAID controller in the BIOS because it is not supported by Linux (I saw in an Arch forum that there is a way to make it run, but I didn't want to test it by now). I tell you this because I have the Intel RST icon in the Windows systray that says the service is not running, and I was guessing if that could be related somehow to the missing thing VirtualBox complained for.
In case this issue is of your interest and you want more information, just please ask what you need and how I can get it.
Best regards,
