Windows XP shutdown say ABORTED on Mac VirtualBox everytime i try to shutdown Windows XP. I have VirtualBox 3.0.6 and everything works fine on windows xp installed on my Mac machine on virtualbox, but whenever i try to shutdown it says aborted. What may be the problem? I didn't have this problem with the older versions. Please help guys.

I have the same problem on my iMac while i use Windows XP on Virtualbox. Virtualbox always says aborted, i don't know what is wrong. However i have not found any error on Windows XP or VirtualBox due to this, but still need to correct the problem. Anyone has any idea why VirtualBox does this? Will it affect VirtualBox or the Virtual Machines which are installed? Please advice.

This may happen due to incompatible drivers. Try this out : Close any running virtual machine. Go to Windows XP's settings there in sound, select no sound. [disable sound]. Then try starting the Windows XP in VirtualBox. If it works, then the problem is surely about incompatible sound hardware in VirtualBox.

Yeah, this problem occurs 99 time out of 100 if sound is enabled on incomaptible hardware. Or you can select a sound device and from within Windows XP, install the sound drivers manually. This may also get your problem solved without having to disable sound.
