Log file attached.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

you need to install the guest additions. 2D and 3D acceleration needs to be enabled for the guest.

only 512MBs RAM for a 64bit Windows 7 guest is probably low. 16MBs VRAM is much too low.

Great- thanks so much. Increased the allocated RAM to 1024 and the VRAM to 60. Also enabled 2D and 3D acceleration. I hadn't previously installed guest additions as I understood it wasn't available for Mac as the host, rather than the guest.

All running great now, thanks again
