OK. Still waiting for my question to be answered. Unless you are telling me now that no guest ever worked I need to know what has changed. And for the love of God loose all the !!! It does not help to voice your frustration all the time. We get it.

I need to know what was installed on the host since this worked. What program/s. I get the host is Windows XP.

If this worked before and not now the reason must be something that was installed that is causing a conflict or a virus.

Maybe. Only way to find out is to see when it reboots. Like I said what changed. This would be a change.
