These are not issues, these are current limitations. Audio is an unsupported part in Mac OSX, VB emulates a sound card that is not supported by Mac. This can be worked around by the community driver, but it's not supported officially in any way so you can expect strange things with it.

The full screen part is due to lack of guest additions to support higher resolutions. There is a work-around to get a bit higher resolution by changing the EFI config (please check the Mac Guest part of this forum).

These minor issues is something we can't do anything about at the moment because it's a new supported Guest OS. Additional features for it will come in due time.

I just downloaded and installed the latest version of Virtual Box (3.2.6 r63112). I am running it on MacOSX 10.6.4 and guest is Windows 7.
After the install the application and Windows 7 ran fine. However, after turning it off when I restart Virtual Box I am getting an error message, 'Virtual Machine is inaccessible. Please inspect the error message below.'
The box where error message is supposed to be is empty and the 'Refresh' button also does not bring anything on.
Has anyone else experienced similar problem, what could be the issue?
HELP!
Thanks.

Did you check the Guest section? Also, the original question was for Mac Guests. If your XP doesn't have the audio driver, it's a modified version which we don't support.

Can you please open a new topic for this? It's not very relevant compared to the start.

Because it might get even more off-topic, I'm locking this one.
