every time I log onto the guest in VirtualBox after installing the Guest additions that support Aero, it causes VirtualBox to crash

Code: Select all

VirtualBox 4.1.12 r77218 win.x86

You need to newer version of VirtualBox. 77245

Also there are problems with your graphics adapter

Code: Select all

00:01:30.251 OpenGL Info: Render SPU: GL_VENDOR:   Intel
00:01:30.251 OpenGL Info: Render SPU: GL_RENDERER: Intel 965/963 Graphics Media Accelerator
00:01:30.251 OpenGL Info: Render SPU: GL_VERSION:  2.0.0 - Build 8.14.10.1930

You must be running the latest host drivers and even then that Intel graphics model has been known to cause issues with accelerated (virtual) graphics.

but 4.1.12 is the latest! I got the update last week! what do you mean mine is outdated??

Did you go to the download and check? Of course not, or you would see exactly what I said.

And I quote.
"There was a last-minute regression in the original 4.1.12 builds from April 2nd, (build 4.1.12-77218) which was silently fixed by replacing all builds (new build 4.1.12-77245)."
