id summary reporter owner description type status component version resolution keywords cc guest host 1088 screen remains black at WinXP guest boot up maaack "Host 1.5.4 VirtualBox on Fedora Core 7 on AMD64. Guest: WinXP Home Edition (32 bit). When the guest boots, the screen remains black. This happens every time. Toggling to fullscreen activates the screen and all is well till the next boot. This was especially disconcerting during install and before the toggle magic was discovered. I did not think the install was working properly. This also happened with an WinXP Professional install. I'd say this is major only because it might lead to a poor perception of the product, which otherwise looks stellar." defect closed other VirtualBox 1.5.4 fixed other other
