VB fails to start about half the time

Post by Ztruker »

I get this error when I try to start a guest with Oracle VB 4.3.28 r 100309 from a link on the desktop. Works every time if I start any guest from VirtualBox Manager.

Again, only fails when trying to start a guest from a link on the desktop created by VirtualBox Manager.

I've tried recreating all the links after updating to the latest Oracle VB.

Thanks mhanor. I see the problem is still under investigation.

It's not a big deal as the guest always starts okay from Vbox Admin.
