VirtualBox 4.3.14 just hangs

[MuldeR]

Hi.

Just upgraded my VirtualBox from v4.3.12 to v4.3.14, but after that, the VirtualBox Manager just hangs. The window pops up, but then simply freezes. Still happened after a reboot and after a "repair" installation

Downgraded to v4.3.12 and everything is working again...

Thanks for reply.

But I'm not getting the error message discussed in that thread. Nor does VirtualBox fail to launch the VM. Actually I don't even get to the point where I could launch a VM, because the VirtualBox Manager freezes immediately (no error message). Anyway, I will try v4.3.15 that has been mentioned over there and see if it helps...

Okay, I tried v4.3.15.

Now the VirtualBox Manager doesn't freeze anymore, but now the VM's fail to start with the following error:

Code: Select all

Fehlercode: E_FAIL (0x80004005)
Komponente: Console
Interface: IConsole {8ab7c520-2442-4b66-8d74-4ff1e195d2b6}

Read the thread that Perryg gave you the link to. I know it's a big one, but (trust me), a lot of people have read it and have had similar symptoms like yourself. If you find that your case adds something to what the developers don't already know, please add (more) detailed information about your setup.

The good news is: I just tried VirtualBox 4.3.16 and it fixed my "VirtualBox hangs" problem.

The bad news is: VirtualBox is now seems to be using "Windows 2000" styles in the graphical user-interface:



Maybe missing "XP Manifest" ???

FYI - I think they want any 4.3.16 related problems posted in the link up top.

Edit: Now that I look at that thread again, maybe not. The wording seems to indicate that it's only for "hardening" related issues. Is there a separate thread for "regular" issues?

Actually it is under the Using VirtualBox subforum, Discuss the 4.3.16 release.
