Problem - Windows 7 guest + Yosemite Host VirtualBox 4.3.22

Post by pjbeee »

Hope this is OK...

I'm referencing my post on the Windows Guests forum, since there were no replies there:

Has to do with a Visual FoxPro app running on Windows 7 - exact same VM imported into VMware Fusion 7 has no problems whatsoever. This is a brand new issue that began with an upgrade to Yosemite.

I can't speak for others, but I didn't reply to your previous post because I couldn't be assed to wade through all the redundant log files you provided, looking for which one might be relevant - there's only some much of my free time that I'm willing to donate to someone else's problem. Speaking of which: needing to read the equivalent of "War and Peace" to get to a problem description didn't really invite participation either. Oh, and add that the topic title is of the completely non-descriptive "I have a problem" type... and my reaction is to pass. If you made it easier for helpers to help then perhaps you'd get more takers.
 Edit: 
Ok, I relented and had another look at your problem: the bad news is that you are talking about an app crash, which we can really do little or nothing about. If the VM crashes or fails in general then something will appear in the log. An app crash is not seen as anything significant by the VM, so the logs are virtually useless except to provide detailed background info. Only the original vendors of the app can tell you what it doesn't like about the VM. I could see nothing in the VM settings that I would regard as unwise or error prone.
