Hello, I am running windows 8 in virtual box and it was running fine for a while until I locked my account, I when to log back in (my computer when to sleep during this time) and it did not show the wall paper, so I logged in and just got a completely blank white screen with just a cursor. I tried making a new vm and reusing the same hdd and i got the same result. Should I make a completely new vm hdd space and everything? Thanks

You can do that but I would delete the old VM first. Since Windows 8 is still a beta preview, it's going to have few bugs and glitches.
