VB 5.1.28 on Mac OS Sierra 10.12.6 host

Post by Ali Ovlia »

Hi
I am running Mac OS Sierra version 10.12.6 on my machine Today, I installed VB 5.1.28. and running windows 10. Everything went fine however, when I start using it I realized when I click on the windows icon in the left lower corner to switch to start window. nothing happens. so I reinstalled VB 5.1.26 . Do you have any suggestions
Best regards
Ali

I'm not even sure what that means. Are you running full screen? Windowed mode? Seamless mode? What is the "start window"? Please include a ZIPPED VBox.log for the guest in question.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.
Do NOT reply with the "QUOTE" button, please use the "POST REPLY", at the bottom of the form.
If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.

Hi
I tried on full screen and Windowed mode and didn't work. I attached a screenshot of switch window button (the first from left button).
As you know user can switch between these two windows by pressing the switch window button. but this feature was not working when I upgraded to VB 5.1.28. but when I downgraded to 5.1.26 it was working again.
I couldn't attached desktop window and start menu window (where we can see all Apps icons) because of the sizes (around 9Mb)
Thanks
A

Clearly the 5.1.28 was never tested... september means all the interns are back to school I guess
Internet explorer keeps crashing.. debug log shows "VBOX" issues...also I simply open an close microsoft excel and it tells me "excel crashed" then it restarts the program..

its useful when updates break everything we use... good job oracle
