We are trying hard to debug this issue but are currently not able to reproduce it. Please could you have a look at http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/1915 You might follow the comments of pentagonik, that is, check if everything was installed correctly. If all this doesn't help, try to reinstall the 1.6.4 additions. Do you have any special software installed in the guest? Virus scanners, registry monitors or something like that? What localization of Windows is that, French? Kind regards, Frank -- Dr.-Ing. Frank Mehnert Sun Microsystems http://www.sun.com/
