Guest Additions 3.0.6 breaks Windows display resolutions — at Initial Version

Description

I have two VMs running on a Linux (pure 64bits) host:

  • Windows XP (SP3)
  • Windows 7 64bits

In both cases, after I install guest additions from VBox 3.0.6 I have display problems. On my WinXP VM I can't go beyond 800x600 (in this case i get stuck with 4bits colors). On Win7 VM I get stuck on 800x600 resolution only.

Uninstaling Guest Additions allows me to change the resolution the way I want, but then the mouse behaves weird (of course, because of the missing guest addition driver).

I didn't have these display problems before vbox 3.0.6.
