VirtualBox always crashes

[JosephWebber]

I have tried installing VirtualBox 1.3.6, 1.3.8, 1.5.0 and 1.5.2 on my WindowsXPSP2 system with a Windows XP guest system, and I get the same error every time. All is well until I instal the Guest Additions. Then as soon as the guest gets as far as showing the desktop (or sometimes before) it aborts (VirtualBox.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close). The error signature says AppName: virtualbox.exe AppVer: 0.0.0.0 ModName: icm32.dll ModVer: 5.1.2600.2180 Offset: 00004268. When I hit Don't Send the message repeats. When I hit Don't Send again I get the message: "VirtualBox.exe Application Error The instruction at 0x00709971 referenced memory at 0x00000028. The memory could not be "read"."

I can send the log if required.

Please attach your VBox log.

I'm having exactly the same issue. Host is XP SP2 and the guest is Ubuntu 7.10.

Oh, and I'm also running VBox 1.5.2

Please try VirtualBox 1.6.2 and reopen if still relevant.
