Freezes after leaving the settings and after starting a gues

Now I'm not sure what did I do, but it rendered my whole installation non-functional. Whenever I open any machine settings, it's stuck on 50 or 55% for a while:
Images had to be obscured because people who configured this forum don't like new users.

Hitting Cancel does not work and after hitting X button or Ok, the window freezes for a long while. It doesn't consume any CPU while stuck:

It's also worth mentioning that any settings I make take no effect.
And when I start any machine, it freezes immediately. That's why my machines are all Aborted - I had to kill them from task manager. Thanks for deleting all my work on them.
On your "Minimum information needed for assistance." there's a request that we post VBoxStartup.log file if there are any problems with the program. Normally, people tend to point out where internal log files are. But ok, I used search. It doesn't exist.
Info
OS: Windows 7x64 Home premium
Virtual Box version: 4.3.10
Host: Windows XP Professional 32bit, Linux Debian 32bit. Both same problem.
Also thanks for the title character limit forum tech guys. Makes fulfilling rule 4 real easy. Also thanks for disabling me from posting images (i•stack•imgur•com/9cC7z•png). Nice way to welcome one on the forums.

When you create a post you can attach screen shots and logs using the "Upload attachment" tab just underneath the message area. No one is blocking you. Here's one of yours.

Just because you don't know how to post doesn't mean you can't.

I have these images on remote location, so I wanted to link to them. And that was blocked.

Then you didn't read the posting rules because you are not supposed to link to an external site. You are not going to get very far not following the rules.

Please could you be more specific on the rule I am supposed to break. Also do people on this forums harass/spam everybody who has a problem?

To get help information is needed. Since you have posted no logs, Have not even mentioned what version of Windows (I assume Windows 7 based on the screen shot), you are running on your host, what version of VirtualBox you are running etc.,any information of your host PC such as RAM, CPU, HD size. If you spent as much time posting relevant information as you have complaining starting with your first post your issue could possibly been resolved by now.
No one can help without information.

The problem troubles the whole VirtualBox. What logs do you have in mind? I already stated there's no VBoxStartup.log - contrary to what is written in the FAQ (yeah, I read the FAQ).
My OS is Windows 7x64 Home premium. Thanks for pointing that out.
Also I don't think this is just about me and my problem. Most of my problems with VirtualBox were resolved by searching on this forum. So unless this is extremely rare issue, people will be searching for it too and all they'll find is a lot of posts to read and no help to get, as of now. Same happened to me many times, on these forums too.
Edit: I tried to add as much info as possible, thank you for pointing out that it's insuficient. Also I could find what a pain this attachment process is. Do you really attach every image through it? Imgur has CTRL+V upload function allowing me to upload straight from the image editor.

Dispense with the peripheral matters please - this forum is not the place for them. If we don't get to the heart of the matter soon then I'm going to lock this thread.
Now where did this XP image come from? "XP hocuspokus" is not an XP version that I'm familiar with.

"XP hocuspokus" is not an XP version that I'm familiar with.
It's windows XP professional 32bit. What would change if it was home edition? The problem troubles the whole Virtual Box and all machines in it.
If you keep asking irrelevant questions, I can't really come up with relevant info. I am trying to be constructive, I update my post with any info I can think of. All I get are posts that are trying to sway to discussion away from the problem.
