Exception generated at address 0254882B (VBoxVRDP!VRDPCreat

my virtual box sessions randomly crash while I am using them. In the application event viewer logs I see errors such as this under Dr Watson:

The application, C:\PROGRA~1\Sun\XVMVIR~1\VirtualBox.exe, generated an application error The error occurred on 07/18/2008 @ 15:01:44.889 The exception generated was c0000005 at address 0254882B (VBoxVRDP!VRDPCreateServer)

The application, C:\PROGRA~1\Sun\XVMVIR~1\VirtualBox.exe, generated an application error The error occurred on 07/18/2008 @ 12:06:26.559 The exception generated was c0000005 at address 0253882B (VBoxVRDP!VRDPCreateServer)

The n there is a bunch o fmemory info/stack data logged in the event.

Environmental:
Host Windows 2003 SP2
Guest : Windows 2003 SP3 and Windows XP SP2
VBox 1.62

These errors will happen ussually with in 2-20 minutes. Im running the sessions with vboxheadless and connecting to them via an XP RDP client.

For the rest of the day I will start the sessions up and access them on the actual machine and see if they crash. If they dont i would guess the next step would be to run them as vboxheadless and have adplus/userdump/drwatson monitor them and wait for an exception and read through the call stacks..

Iam accessing the sessions via Windows XP SP2 RDP client.

Anyways.. anyone have anythoughts? Is this a graphics driver issue? or maybe something else?

If this a common and repeating error then it might be worth raising a bug report. See http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Bugtracker for more info.

Thanks Terry,

It happens to me over and over again(ussually with in 5-15 minutes of launching the VMs).

Today I have been running vboxheadless and the rdp sessions on the same machine with 256 colours only and have not had a problem.(last firday I ran only on the host machine using the virtualbox gui and had no crashes)

I also noticed that I do not have a proper video driver installed for Win2003 on the host OS as well, this may be playing a problem to. I will keep playing with my settings to I narrow the error down.

In general you should find that running your VMs with GA installed will be more stable.
