winxp virtual box crashes often since update to yosemite

[ti]

Hi all,

since upgrading to yosemite my windows XP virtual box crashes at random times, usually within 10 mins after startup, not dependent on the application running. attached is the logfile.

any ideas?

thanks and best regards!

you are getting this error: Guru Meditation -2403 (VERR_TRPM_DONT_PANIC)

I noticed you have your Mac's Dropbox folder assigned as a shared folder for your XP guest. The first thing I would try is remove the shared folder from XP and see if it runs ok. I am running 10.10 and installed XP SP3 as a guest and it's running fine.

If removing the shared folder doesn't work, try reinstalling VirtualBox. Make sure to use the VB uninstall tool first.

thanks for the help; shared folder was not the problem, but reinstalling vb helped.

thanks again!
