[Solved] Windows 8.1 Guest wont respond to mouseclick.

Post by MiloTheDev »

Hello!

I recently installed windows 8.1 in a VM (w/ 18 gb)
and after the installation of Guest Additions, It wont respond to a mouseclick unless i go in and/or out of fullscreen.

Basicly, Unless i change the screen resolution after, Windows 8.1 wont respond to my mouse clicking. Any help will be appreciated.

Bye! (because i go play some roblox)

We need to see a complete VBox.log, from a complete VM run, where the problem occurs:
  • Start the VM from cold-boot (not from a paused or saved state) / Observe problem / Shutdown the VM (force close it if you have to).
  • With the VM completely shut down (not paused or saved), right-click on the VM in the VirtualBox Manager and select "Show Log".
  • Save only the first "VBox.log", ZIP it and attach it to your response. See the "Upload attachment" tab below the reply form.

00:00:10.750869 VirtualBox VM 6.0.0 r127566 win.amd64 (Dec 18 2018 12:01:23) release log
It takes 10" for VirtualBox to even get off the launchpad. Do you have a 3rd party antivirus? If yes, uninstall/purge/nuke it. You don't need it, it will only cause problems....
00:00:13.530880 3DEnabled        <integer> = 0x0000000000000000 (0)
00:00:13.530894 VMSVGAEnabled    <integer> = 0x0000000000000001 (1)
00:00:13.530896 VRamSize         <integer> = 0x0000000008000000 (134 217 728, 128 MB)
00:00:18.277895 GUI: 2D video acceleration is disabled
Shut down the VM. Go to the VM Settings » Display » Screen. Change the Graphics controller from "VBoxSVGA" to "VBoxVGA". Enable 2D and 3D acceleration. Increase the VRAM to the max 256 MB.

Nope. Any hint as to why I should remember? I don't even remember what I have installed on my computer, you expect me to remember what you have on yours? :)
