Windows 8 Guest - Mac OSX 10.8.2 Host

[mnichols]

I have a Windows 8 guest on my Mac OSX 10.8.2 Host.
VB Version 4.6.2 - Guest Additions are installed.

After having difficulty with dual monitor on Win7 guest I thought I'd try Win 8. I was able to get dual monitor with Win 8, but after saving state and trying to resume, the machine _almost_ restored and then Aborted with this:

Failed to open a session for the virtual machine win8.

No error info.

Result Code: NS_ERROR_CALL_FAILED (0x800706BE)
Component: ProgressProxy
Interface: IProgress {c20238e4-3221-4d3f-8891-81ce92d9f913}

I have attached the VBox.log.

I'm attaching another VBox.log here because resizing with the Win8 Guest also Aborts.

This log is similar to another issue I reported where the VM aborts without a log entry reflecting any error. I can't add more than one file so will reply again with the .crash report. It looks like VB is trying to write to some memory it either isn't permitted to, or is invalid.


The multi-monitor story for Mac Host seems unstable for Windows guests andI am not sure how to resolve it since I am a fairly Mac n00b.
