VirtualBox 4.3.16

[jalaffa]

VirtualBox is an application installed on an existing host operating system; within this application, additional operating systems can be loaded and run, each with its own virtual environment. For example, several Linux distributions can be hosted on a single machine running Windows XP; likewise, XP and Vista can run on a machine running Linux, and so on. There is a free for personal or evaluation use proprietary version and a GNU General Public License (GPL) version.

Thanks to sternog for the update.

[ZinnPL]

me too ! :(

4.3.16. do not works.

4.3.14 also do not works.

Old 4.3.12 working perfectly so please use it :)

This one works for me I'm glad . some are not so lucky but this one has better security than 4.3.12

This is what the Moderator at VirtualBox say about it :P

Please stop mentioning that "4.3.12 works fine". The comment is redundant - we are all perfectly aware of that already.

The hardening feature was introduced in 4.3.14, so the problem cannot exist in earlier versions. But, unless you intend sticking with 4.3.12 forever then it is 4.3.16 and later that we need to diagnose and fix issues with
