I've been using VirtualBox 3.2.6, under Mac OS X.6.5, until yesterday with no major problems except that no USB thumb drive would get recognized. Thinking that maybe using version 4.0 would make this problem go away, I installed it after quitting the earlier version.
After the install, which seemed to go without a hitch, I started the relevant VM (of eComStation 1.2r) and tried right away to install the newer Guest Additions, as the notes at the Download site suggest. As soon as I clicked on the 'Install Guest Additions' item under Devices, the VM window disappeared (crashed), while the VBox 4.0 app window was still fine. Thinking that maybe the Extension Pak was required, I installed it, then tried to start the VM once more. VBox informed me that it failed to start the VM because it couldn't find the file '~/temp/ecs12.hdd'. Fortunately, Time Machine came to my rescue and I replaced the missing file with the most recent one archived. This time I started the VM, did some trivial things (desktop font changes), and shut it down properly. It all behaved as expected, except that when I went to check on the file '~/temp/ecs12.hdd', it again wasn't there, and on trying to start it the same 'failed to start Virtual Machine' message appeared. I can get the archived VM file back again from Time Machine, but why is VBox deleting the hdd file? All help and suggestions would be appreciated.
