Post the guests log file ( as an attachment ). Right click on the guest in the Main Manager then click show log. Save and post as an attachment. Compress if it is too large to post.

Also post the results of id from the host terminal.

You are a few versions behind, we are on 5.0.12 now and you should update the host software and extension pack as well.

Post the results of id from the hosts terminal.
