Make sure the guest isn't running.

The guest has to be fully shut down. Not running, and not suspended.
Most PCs react badly to having their motherboards modified while they are running...

Re: Not able to edit settings VBox on Windowx 7 Guest
Issue is I am not able to shutdown the guest completely after installing guest additions. I have read in a post to disable some settings. Which I am not able to do.

Re: Not able to edit settings VBox on Windowx 7 Guest
What happens when you go to "Machine/Close/Power off the machine" in the guest window ?
This should shut down the guest completely.

I am able to shut the machine as you said. But I doubt that it's not full shutdown/restart. Is it like Hibernate?
