Hi,

I have a strange problem:

I try to install Mint on a Win7 Host. When I double click the "install Mint" Icon, the installation process starts, but after the step of deleting the drive and creating the new partitions, the window is invisible. I can see the Mint desktop, and the mouse changes when I move it over parts where the installation window is/should be visible, and in the task pane there is a "installation" symbol. By hovering my mouse over it I can see the next step in a mini picture (choosing the time zone) and I can even press enter to access the next step - but then I have to choose Username and Passwort which is not possible not seeing everything.

My Host is a Dell Latitude, Win 7 64bit. VB is latest Version 5.0.10

Has anyone had a similar problem.
The same installation on my PC went without problems...

Thx for your help

Please read the following: Minimum information needed for assistance. As a wild guess, shut down the guest and disable 3D acceleration if it enabled.

Thanks for the link. I'll give it a read. And I'll try your tip.

I am just confused, as the installation window does only disappear after the step when I tell it to create the partition for installing.

Ok, I'll give more information later.

It's possible the download was bad. Did you check the md5 sum?

No, I didn't.
But the guest (Linux Mint 17.3 32bit) runs fine in live CD mode. And... I can see the installation window in the preview of the task pane, and the mouse on the desktop changes where the ok button of the window seems to be - it's just not visible.
Never experienced such thing...

Which DE? I'll download it.

DE?

KDE, Cinnamon etc.

FWIW, I downloaded the 32bit Cinnamon version from http://mirrors.advancedhosters.com/linu ... -32bit.iso and the installer was fine so I'm guessing the download was bad or whichever mirror you used had a bad copy. You should check the md5 sum whenever you download an install .iso.
