Post by Super Cena »

I just downloaded it and this is what I am getting, the text has gone totally invisible!

Your question doesn't belong in "Mac OS X Guests". Moving to "Mac Hosts".

Looks like it may be a font issue. Try running Font Book and doing a Validate Fonts.

What version of VirtualBox did you download? Aside from the missing fonts there is also no preview panel. Although I'm not sure if the panel shows before you create a guest. It could be just a bad download/install. If rpmurry's suggestion doesn't work, I would run the VirtualBox_Uninstall.tool, redownload and try reinstalling again. If the same thing happens, I would run Disk Utility>Repair Disk Permissions.

No text / no Fonts has some instructions on how to reset the font caches in case they are corrupted.
