VirtualBox + Actual Windows Manager = crash

[jeanmilost]

Hello,

I recently installed the Actual Windows Manager application (demo available here: ​http://www.actualtools.com/windowmanager/) to manage my multiple screens.

I noticed that, when this application is installed, all my virtual machines crashes when I try to open them. After 5 seconds, the virtual machine window freezes, and it's not possible to make any action. I noticed that the virtual machine continues to work on the application main interface (the virtual machine is still updated inside the screenshot control), but the virtual machine display window stops to work, and I have no alternative but to kill it.

When this happens, my machines take the Aborted status, and I cannot do nothing to resolve that. If I try to start my machine again, it restarts normally, but after 5 seconds, the problem returns. All my virtual machines are affected by this issue. If I uninstall the Active Windows Manager, all becomes normal.

I'm working on Windows 7 professional 64bit.

Regards

Same problem, tried 4.3.18 and 4.3.20 and Actual Multiple Monitors Just exiting AMM solves the issue for me.

Adding my experience here too - VBox 4.3.28 -- how is it that i just got lucky & thought: "maybe i'll shutdown AWM" ?

then logged off/on, start VBox 1st, get a VM up & running, THEN start AWM -- same deal -- causes the VM to freeze after a couple seconds.

So whose "responsibility" is this?? Who modifies their code to fix this? -- or is it an unresponsive attitudinal turf-war?

"my code/my memory space -- F* off!" ?

Later today hopefully i will try VMWare Workstation & see what happens w/ it.
