Issue with VM

Hi,
I created a Win 7 32bit machine on a server. This is currently deployed to guest machines (running windows 7 64 bit) via a network share. The idea is that the VM runs specific software, each client has Vbox installed and can open the VM when they want granted there can only be one instance opened at a time.
Users are able to run the machine and log in but just as the machine is preparing the desktop it aborts.
I've attached the log file.
Ps. Be Gentle. I'm new to this, advice is appreciated!

Additional information : Disabling the network adapter lets me log in fine(or if i unplug the cable). If i re-connect the cable i can browse shares, surf the internet, all good. If i try to shutdown the machine in this state however it crashes.

The log says that you created a 64bit Win7 machine. Then you assigned 4GB to it, out of only 5GB available. Can all the client PCs afford a 4GB bite being taken out of available memory?
On the other hand the VM has a teeny tiny VRAM assignment - only 21MB. I would double that.
It also says you assigned 3 CPUs to the VM. Can all the clients PCs afford that too?
Then when you finally get to the meat it's many repetitions of this :-

Looks like your network connection is glitching a lot. I'm not a network expert so I can't tell you why. You could try turning off host I/O cacheing in the VM storage settings.
