Please could you stop compressing your log files? It's additional work to uncompress them.

Regarding the forum article: This is a suggestion from the forum moderators. It might work but there is no guarantee that it works. The official method to move a VM from one computer to another is to re-install VBox on the other computer and export+import the VM as I already mentioned in the other ticket.

Now regarding your actual problem: As your VM sees to at least come up on the new computer I would like to see a screenshot from the actual problem. The VBox.log (Air_VBox.log) file does not show any problem.

Replying to frank:

How do I upload the Video Capture (.webm) file ?

Took ScreenShots while playing back the Video Capture: Hang_ConsoleP1_2.zip
