Description (last modified by )
In Windows Vista guests Aero does not work anymore. Its since the update from 4.1.6 to 4.1.8.
Its on two hosts with Mint 12 64 Bit (8 GB RAM, ATI Radeon HD 4200, Catalyst 11.12, LXDE Desktop) and Suse 12.1 64 Bit (4 GB RAM, Nvidia 9500 GT, Nvidia Driver 290.10, KDE 4.7x Desktop). VBOX 4.1.8 on both machines in build 75467 from the vbox homepage.
Its for Vista 32 and 64 Bit Guests on both Machines. At startup there is an error message. After startup Aero cant be activated.
I think its a vbox regression in 4.1.8. It worked in 4.1.6. And in 4.1.8 Win 7 guests work properly. And both hosts machines are very different.

It seems to be a regression from the GA. The GA from 4.1.6 work in Vista Guests on VBOX 4.1.8.

You can mark the bug as resolved/fixed. Checked with a newer build (4.1.9-76135) and it works again.
