VitualBox 3.0.8, Window 7 and Windows Mobile Device Center

Post by psiEnergos »

Hello,

I am running Windows 7 as my host environment and noticed an odd problem. When Windows Mobile Device center is running, the virtualbox program and service (vBoxSvc) load fine but the virtualbox gui doesn't appear. It is only after the Windows Mobile Device Center is stopped will the gui load (I have to end the running instance and reload virtualbox for the load to be successful).

While this is a workable 'work-a-round' for now, it is hardly a long term solution. I saw an entry for the Windows Mobile Device Center as an issue for someone using Vista, it is not the same problem. Does anyone have a better, long term solution?

Thanks!
