Interesting. There was a user who fixed a different problem by rebooting his OSX host. He shouldn't have had to but it worked.

I was told ages ago by a tech support person, "If all else fails, reboot". I guess he was right. :)

I rebooted the Win7embedded guest several times to no avail. You mean maybe I needed to reboot the host as well?
It didn't work in Linux host at first boot, I'll try tomorrow again.
I was thinking it was related to reinstalling different GA versions, or switching temporarily to a Linux host with older VBox version then back to Win8.1.

I can't say. Hopefully the developers will take a look. Of course afaik Windows Embedded is not a supported guest.
