CentOS 6.4 - GNOME is not loading

[pau]

hello all.
after updating to CentOS 6.4 from 6.3 GNOME is not loading, but still I can login using virtual console.
Host: MS Windows 7 32-bit
Guest: CentOS 2.6.32-358.2.1.el6.i686
VBox: 4.2.8
upgrading VBox from 4.2.8 to 4.2.10 does not help.

any ideas? thanks in advance.

Try disabling 3d support on VM settings, this works for me

may be it's related to a bug in the linux guestadditions which yields to that the OpenGL support modules can't be build for RHEL6.4 and clones guests, you should have a look at viewtopic.php?f=3&t=42424
