You can attach images. It's only offsite URLs which you can't post.

Also, Microsoft have their own support staff for MS Windows. We typically will be uninterested in guest application crashes unless you can suggest a credible reason why VirtualBox is the cause.

Can the guest get to the Internet? If it can then the issue is something in the Windows guest. There are various things that can cause this including a corrupt store or update database. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2509997
