I have a similar problem using 2.0.2 (linux Ubuntu 8.04.1 host - Win2KPro guest); whenever I shutdown from the guest I get a black screen & end up having to kill the session with the VBox manager. On another system (identical box including video, memory, cpu etc) instead of a black screen I would get the vertical green and black bars you mention on shutdown from the guest. I backed the second machine down to 1.6.6 and haven't had any problem with it since. _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
