Virtual box crashing on load

[coolbiker]

My virtual box when loading occasionaly freezes in the starting virtual box step. I had the virtual box open for a bit and safely turned it off to tweak settings and then it just hangs. Now if I mess with it too much I'll loose keyboard connection on my computer and sometimes windows just stops reacting and won't shut down by normal means.

At this point I was thinking maybe clicking the virtual box during load is freaking out during the loading process. My only intentions in clicking the box is to bring the box to from since on load the virtual box is thrown to the back of the screen. Probably after typing this I'm going to have to restart my computer after turning off my functioning virtual box.

I am on a vista business sp1 system 32bit 4gb ram all current patches both for Virtual Box and windows.

If you don't attach the log files from VB to the report they will not touch the report. Just a heads up.

I'm trying to do that right now. I'm at least adding problems report and solutions info. I can't find info on how to build a Vbox log file. I'd also assume I need to have the log going when problem occurs right?

In Vista it should be under your home folder/.virtualbox/machine/<name of the machine>/logs/

o.k they are up there thanks for the heads up. I really hope they can sort this stuff out well.

Any idea how to tell if a Virtual box coder has looked at a bug report. I was kind of hoping to see some traffic to the report. Does that mean I didn't give enough detail?

Just means they are really busy. I have (2) that they have not read yet. Since this was a major release they are hard at work. Just need to wait.
