One issue per thread

This is not about the XP activation issue, so it goes in its own separate topic.

**************************

when i install the guest additions and reboot now the screen is totally black

It's probably the 7.0.8 Guest Additions bug for XP.

Either use 7.0.6's Guest Additions https://download.virtualbox.org/virtual ... _7.0.6.iso
or the 7.0 test builds or development snapshots Guest additions.

Boot the XP VM into Safe Mode, web-search for how, then uninstall the Guest Additions. Reboot the VM into Normal mode, and install the replacement GAs.

***************************

Windows 2000 and XP are not supported for automatic updating due to WHQL interaction, please update manually.

Self-explanatory. Use the "Insert Guest Additions CD Image" command in the VM's Devices menu and manually run the installer from the VM's CD drive.

"Either use 7.0.6's Guest Additions"

thank you Scott!

I tested the last 6.1.x versions and found out that this problem started with version 6.1.44.

Thanks for your help in testing this issue!

this problem started with version 6.1.44.

6.1.44 came out at the same time as 7.0.8 and may have some of the same code issues over graphics.

Yes, this issue is in both VirtualBox versions, see 21600#comment:11.
