Hello there.

I am new to this forum, so I apologize if this has been asked and answered, or if this is posted in the wrong location. I encourage and accept constructive criticism.

I am running host OS Mac OS X 10.7.1 on a MacBook Pro with a 2.4 GHz core i5 and 4GB memory, VirtualBox 4.1.4 r74291, and guest OS Windows XP service pack 3, 32-bit. I have recently upgraded to this version of virtualbox, and have installed virtualbox additions 4.1.4, as well as all current Mac OS X and Windows XP updates as of this date.

I have configured 1 CPU, 1GB of system memory for the guest, 64MB of video memory, and have enabled 2D video acceleration.

I have just noticed that when I enter host+c, the guest video freezes, and no longer seems to accept keyboard or mouse input, and the guest must then be reset. This is exactly and consistently repeatable on my machine. This only occurs when 2D video acceleration is enabled. I believe this is a bug, but I am curious if I have made a configuration error, or incorrect support assumption.

Also, if there are any virtualbox.org admins scanning these posts, the registration form for this site only accepts the major and minor version numbers for virtualbox, such as 4.1.4, but not the release version, such as r74291, and I believe this is an error. More information is usually better, and details matter.

These kinds of problems that are reproducible should be reported to bugtracker. You will need to setup an account there as it is on a different system.
It would also help if you can post the ticket number here so other can see the progress, add information, or see the final results.
Be sure to be detailed and post the guests log file as an attachment.

Thank you, Perryg. I will do that.
