Weird Problem

Post by fdb66 »

I have just upgraded to version 4.3.16 r95972 of Virtualbox. My host OS is Mac OS X version 10.9.4 running Windows 7 as guest OS.

After the upgrade, using my 3 fingers to slide my screen to the Virtualbox the screen comes up empty. All I see is a gray empty screen instead of a Windows 7 screen. The only way I can have the Windows 7 virtualbox to appear is to click on its icon down in the Docking system tray. Weird!

Does any one have the same experience? It is annoying and it only started happening after the upgrade to version 4.3.16 r95972 of virtualbox.

You might want to repost here viewtopic.php?f=1&t=63554 if you want the DEVs to actually see this.

I found the same thing after upgrade. Have a look in the Mac OS X Server Guests section for my solution. I can't post a link to it directly yet, as I'm a new member....

Hey Tom, don't worry, I already did it for you in the 4.3.16 discussion forum. I'll post it again: viewtopic.php?f=22&t=63564
