Drag-and-drop error message

Post by neodymium »

I am running a Windows 10 guest machine, and I attempted to test the drag-and-drop functionality. I tried to drag an image from my Macintosh host into the guest machine, but I received an error. Does anyone know what this error means? It is displayed in the image attached to this message. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you and have a great holiday.

Did you install the Guest Additions (GAs) in your Win10 guest?
  • Start the VM from cold-boot (not from a paused or saved state) / Observe error / Shutdown the VM.
  • With the VM completely shut down (not paused or saved), right-click on the VM in the VirtualBox Manager and select "Show Log".
  • Save only the first "VBox.log", ZIP it and attach it to your response (see the "Upload attachment" tab below the reply form).
PS. Thanks for cropping the image, but please also downsize your attached images by 50% (at least), or simply change the DPI to 72. Not everyone is blessed with a HiDPI display ;)
