Description
Greetings,
I recently updated to VirtualBox v5.2.0 RC1 to give it a try and see if my VMs could still work fine in it. I was well inspired, since I found a show-stopper bug (at least for my needs). So, I installed VirtualBox v5.2.0 RC1, the v5.2.0 RC1 extension pack, booted my Windows XP guest VM in fail-safe mode, installed the VirtualBox guest additions (which, strangely, identify themselves as being v5.2.0 Beta 3 additions, instead of RC1...) with DirectX support.
Once the VM rebooted, when I start Poser 6 or 7 (the only two versions I got) on a Windows XP (32 bits) guest running on a 64 bits Linux host, the program hangs shortly after starting, on the startup screen, and Windows reports the program as "non responding" in its title bar. After a few more seconds waiting, the window of the program turns white and it stays stuck forever like that.
I then reinstalled the v5.1.28 guest additions (still keeping VirtualBox v5.2.0 RC1) and found out that Poser then works fine again.
Probably an issue in DirectX support ?
VBox.log attached (in its state, just after launching Poser).
This bug also affects the guest additions of VirtualBox v5.2.0 (r118431)...
