RDP clients crash when connecting from Windows7 -> Fixed in SVN/3.0.0

Description

I'm not too sure if it's a Windows7 problem, but I'm get frequent but seemingly random crashes when trying to connect into my VM:

The VM carries on running and you can try and connect to it again, but that frequently just drops back out again. I've had a look at the logs and each connection has a sequence along these lines:

00:56:35.164 VRDP: New connection:

When I first installed the guest O/S I was have problems with the mouse on the remote machine not matching up with the one on my local machine. I tried installing 'virtual-box-windows-guest-additions' from google:

http://code.google.com/p/virtual-box-windows-guest-additions-installer/downloads/list

...but that didn't seem to help so it's been uninstalled. Any other information required? I don't know what else to try...

Members on the forum said this problem was solved in version 1.6.6, but the issue is back again. Another protocol change in TS client?

Any solution or workaround available?

Please reply, Thanks.

So the MS RDP client of Windows 7 crashes when you connect to a VBox RDP session, correct?

Btw, why do you install the Windows guest additions someone has recompiled instead using the guest additions which are shipped with every official VBox installation package (and I saw from your log that you are using the official package)?

I've tested the "Remote Desktop Connection" client version 6.1.7100 from Windows 7. It works here. Which options do you you for the connection (display size, color quality, sound, etc..)?

Replying to frank:

I think it happens generally as a result of certain types of interactions with the remote desktop (accessing combo boxes and running shell prompts on the virtual machine for example).

Btw, why do you install the Windows guest additions someone has recompiled instead using the guest additions which are shipped with every official VBox installation package (and I saw from your log that you are using the official package)?

Because I couldn't find them anywhere? I installed the Ubuntu 8.10 package but couldn't see any mention of the .iso the help file talks about.

I just tried upgrading to v2.2.4 and have a fresh install of XP and after some initial problems getting the guest additions .iso mounted, I finally got it working. Thus far the new version seems to be working well so it looks likely it was my guest additions that were at fault.

To avoid anyone else falling in this same trap, the manual could be more helpful in stating where to find the additons for linux distributions (/usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso from the Ubuntu 8.10 package).

Damn, scratch that, 2.2.4 (host and guest additions) still gives me the same issues. I'm using RDP client 6.1.7100 here.

With the guest additions installed on a windows XP client, try the following:

1) Open windows explorer. 2) Find another machine on your network with a share. 3) Right click on the share and select "Map network drive" 4) Click on the 'Drive' drop-down menu. 5) Watch as your RDP client connection drops :-)

I'm using very basic settings with display options of:

Resolution: 1280*1024 Colour depth: 16 bit

I've got my 'Experience' set to 10MBit
