Vbox 2.2 - Fatal GUI error - shared folders

Posted: 17. Apr 2009, 23:10

Setup:

HOST:

WinXPsp3 32-bit with VT (dual quad-core E5345 processors)
4 GB RAM
NVIDIA Quadro FX 3500 video card, 256 MB VRAM
VBox 2.2
ACPI, IO APIC, VT-x enabled

GUEST:

Solaris 10 u5 x86, 64-bit, 1498 MB RAM allocated, 128 MB VRAM

QUESTION:

The VM GUI will crash with fatal error when attempting to assign a host directory as a shared folder on either a running guest, or when the guest is not running from the main Vbox GUI. When the "other" option is selected from the drop-down menu on the "Folder Path" option in the "Add Share" dialog, the crash occurs.

Runtime error!

VirtualBox.exe
R6025
- pure virtual function call

I once successfully assigned the host folder, but 9 times out of 10 the entire GUI will fatally crash. Once a folder has been successfully selected, the shared folders behave normally. This problem has also been posted in the Other Guests forum since it also involves Solaris guests.
