VirtualBox aborts when I power off VM
Posted: 27. Feb 2019, 08:54
I'm running OS X Mohave (10.14.3) on a 16GB Macbook Pro (Intel Core i7), and using the latest Version of VirtualBox (6.0.4). I have a Windows 8.1 VM that has been working just fine for several years, but I recently installed a Windows XP (sp3) and a Centos7 VM. Both have 2GB of RAM and are both Bridged Network, 1 core. Both VMs run great when they run, but when I power them down, I see a quick "power off" message, then VirtualBox aborts. Then I get a message that VB closed unexpectedly, ignore, report, or reopen? The next time I load VBox, the machines seem fine - no damage or corruption. But it aborts 100% of the time I power off the machines, while my 8.1 machine is just fine. I've experimented with various video settings, but nothing changes. It seems like if this were a bug, it would be reported already - so I'm convinced it's something I've done wrong, but I've tried so many settings, I don't know what else to try. Any ideas?
