Hi Stephan,

have you (after managing to log-in into VM) upgraded VboxAdditions?

I have also VB 6.1.16 and it is not worse then previous version 
(sometimes I have to reboot guest, because seamless mode is not working, 
or because of audio device[s] problems).

Whilst waiting OI to get latest driver, I am using (on OI host) driver 
from NVIDIA site
