I have installed VirtualBox on my main drive. When I run (host: Windows 7, updated) my virtual machine works fine until I try to enable full-screen*. Then it crashes with the following error:
The instruction at 0x00000000 referenced memory at 0x00000000. The memory could not be written. Click OK to terminate the program.
Some info:
- 64-bit windows 7
- Intel i7 3630QM with integrated Intel HD 4000
- Nvidia GTX680M, fully updated drivers
- AVG free antivirus
I've tried:
- setting the shortcut to launch in directx9
- disabling my gtx680m
- running as administrator
- edit: trying a different virtual machine
- edit: disabling my anti-virus
I would love to be able to run any of my virtual machines in fullscreen. Why is this happening?
*My problem is NOT that I can't get the right resolution.

Have you tried this with other VM's? Try a version of Linux and see if you get the same error. It seems like it's a problem with a certain call. – Mr. Mascaro – 2014-09-29T20:31:39.733
I just tried a version with ubuntu, the same thing happened. I think the problem is in my windows.. – Losmoges – 2014-09-29T22:42:27.633
VirtualBox is notoriously picky about graphics cards and drivers. Check their website to see if they list a known-good driver version for your card. You may have to revert back to an old version of your nVidia driver. – Mr. Mascaro – 2014-09-30T12:46:00.357
I have the exact same effect. Win7 64bit host and as soon as the VM goes fullscreen it crashes with exactly the message you showed. Your situation is not unique. – Niels Basjes – 2014-09-30T16:18:32.383
I'm getting this same error on two Win 7 hosts running several Linux distros. I'm using VBox version
