I am occasionally getting a message on shutdown which is too quick for me to see.
Is there any way to have such messages logged or stop on display so I can see what it is that is wrong.

Host Windows 7 64bit
Guest Windows 7 64bit
The message says something about ....too many 16 bit ..... the rest is unknown as yet.

Depending on which program is generating these notifications, you can look in the VBox logs for the guest or you can look in the system events of the guest to see if you can find the error, cause, and maybe a cure.

Thanks.
I have looked in the logs for the virtual machine but nothing I can see relates to "16 bit".
The problem as always for intermittent errors is finding a way to stop the machine to read the content of the message.
I am sure it is trying to tell me something!
I have not been able to catch the message while displayed using the Virtual machine Pause command. I am always too slow to react. That is why I am looking for help to trap the error and find out what it is saying.

Is there some sort of virtual machine debug state?

If you have looked in the system events logs and see nothing then it must be a warning. Does it seem to cause a problem that you know of?
As for a Windows debug state that is something I do not know unless it creates a mini dump. WinDbg will of course read those if you have the symbols loaded.
Do you have the guest additions installed? It might be referring to the Graphics I guess.

There is no apparent problem arising during the running of the virtual machine.
It worries me that something that might be expected to happen while shutting down is'nt, if you see what I mean.
Yes, I have the guest machine additions loaded.

Until I trap the message and am able to read all that it says I just don't know what is going on.
I thought someone reading might have seen it before and have the knowledge of what it's all about.
