Failed to get the accessibility state of the media

[versiliberi]

When I add or remove a snapshot, I get one or more windows (even tens!) with this error:

Failed to get the accessibility state of the media. Some of the registered media may become inaccessible. Callee RC: 0x80004002

(I traslated it in English, because I have the Italian version).

I solved using the VBoxManage (VirtualBox Command Line Management Interface). Probably the GUI is bugged: sometimes the VM state reported by the GUI isn't correct, that's why I got a lot of errors. I hope you can solve it in the next release.

However, thanks for your work and your time. VirtualBox is great!

I can second that. VirtualBox 1.4.0 GUI does not handle the VBoxManage reports correctly. I tested the OSE, and SVN versions too, and the problem was reproducible.

Steps to reproduce the bug:

• simply start VirtualBox;
• right click on Current state;
• click Discard Current State.

If I do form the GUI I get the error reported by versiliberi, but the following command however works well:

vboxmanage snapshot ... discardcurrent -state

I attached a screen-shot with the problem.

It seems the SVN version works fine. Hopefully the bug is fixed.
