[Solved] Office not rendering properly in Virtualbox

Just installed Windows 10 into VB 6.0.4.
Then installed MS Office.
Office apps don't render properly. Everything works but you can'd see some parts of the app (some buttons, etc). If you click in the right spot you can make things happen though.
Running on a brand new high end MacBook Pro.
Any advice from anyone?

Then chances are that you have selected (or actually it has been proposed by default) the VBox
SVGA option. Go to the VM Settings » Display » Screen » Graphics Controller: set that to VBoxVGA (minus the "S").
If that doesn't solve it, 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.
