windows won't start

Post by twiggydanger »

i was having troubles with my windows box (windows xp inside of ubuntu 11.04, virtualbox 4.0.6) where it was simply rebooting as soon as it loaded up, and i found a fix for it online that said to disable auto-restart on system crashes. that worked for a while but now it just loads windows but nothing is clickable. i can see my desktop icons and start bar but i can't click (right or left) on anything at all to get any response.

No help possible. Post real Infos like log files and exact guest configuration. And post the hardware from the host.
