I followed your recommendation and changed the settings from 4 to 2 processors. The VirtualBox still crashes. I tried re-installing Oracle XE but it does not matter. Still not working.

Thank you. I have had good results with 4.0.6. It has worked very good. Never once the Oracle XE or Oracle 11g2 would crush the VBox.
I have noticed that when installing/updating VBox the kernel extensions are not replaced. I had to manually delete files from /Library/Extensions.

Not sure if I understood you correctly: Do you still have problems with VBox 4.0.6 or not? As you attached this screen shot it looks like you now observe a hanging guest.

Sorry. I have another case open and I got it mixed up. I do not have issues with Oracle XE or 11g database any more since 4.0.6. Its working good.
thanks
