I’ve run into a bug with VirtualBox and at least Windows XP where trying to reboot or shutdown the VM causes the shutdown process to hang at the screen displaying: Windows is shutting down. This problem has to do with mouse pointer integration.<\/p>\n

To fix the problem:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Start the VM<\/li>\n
  2. Machine > Disable Mouse Integration<\/li>\n
  3. Machine > Close > Save the machine state<\/li>\n
  4. Start the VM<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    At this point shutting down or restarting the VM should not hang. Thanks to this post <\/a>for pointing me in the right direction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
