Is VirtualBox 4.2.18 compatible with Windows 8?

Post by Hong »

I have only one Windows 8 machine, and I have installed VirtualBox 4.2.18 on it three times, and the machine could not start every time after the installation. At one time, I had resort to a hard drive image to revive the PC. For the other two times, I resorted to restore points of Windows recover the PC. This is a very time consuming test. I hesitate to do it again. I am wondering if anyone else with similar experiences.

VirtualBox 4.2.16 has been working fine.

Problems with 4.2.18 should be discussed HERE, where the DEVs can find it.
