Virtual Box 4.3.30 Black Screen

I am having an issue loading a .vhd. The VM runs the loading screen for Windows 10 for 10-15 seconds and then goes black. Has anyone else experienced this/does someone know something i might be able to do to fix it.
Thank You in advance

I am also getting this Error
ERROR [COM]: aRC=E_ACCESSDENIED (0x80070005) aIID={8ab7c520-2442-4b66-8d74-4ff1e195d2b6} aComponent={Console} aText={The object is not ready}, preserve=false
Not sure what exactly is means though

Attach the vbox.log (compressed) for the guest.

These files are also from after an upgrade to Virtual Box 5.0.0

I see that you cross posted this to two other topics. This is against the forum rules since it causes unnecessary duplication of effort, e.g. like the reply I gave to one of the other posts (grr). The other topics have now been deleted.

Try disabling 3D acceleration. One thing, you have 8GB RAM assigned to the guest with only 11GB available. You should probably reduce that to no more than 4GB.

That did get it running! It is only running in a smaller screen. Even when making in full screen. Do you know how i might be able to make the screen larger?

With your guest open, click the Devices menu> insert guest additions CD Image. It will mount in your guest. You really need to do some research on your own or at least look at the user manual.
