 === VBoxService ===
 
+To enable logging for VBoxService on the Windows guest a registry value needs to be modified.
+
+In the guest, open regedit.exe as Administrator and add/edit the following key:
 {{{
-HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\VBoxService\ImagePath = "system32\VBoxService.exe -vvvv --logfile c:\Temp\VBoxService.log" (REG_EXPAND_SZ)
+HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\VBoxService\ImagePath
 }}}
+
+from 
+
+{{{ "system32\VBoxService.exe" }}}
+
+to
+
+{{{ "system32\VBoxService.exe -vvvv --logfile C:\Temp\VBoxService.log" }}}
+
+Make sure that the directory "C:\Temp" exists.
+
+
+After the registry modifications were made the guest needs to be restarted.
+Then, after the issue re-appeared, provide 
+
+1. *all* VBoxService.log file(s) (will be written to C:\Temp on the guest) and
+2. the appropriate VBox.log file from the host
+in a zipped archive then.
