    Description

      Revision: 30bc0b6b7a468150e701d13bb30655b6749eadf1

      VirtualBox: 7.0.8

      After installing guest additions, the VirtualBox display driver will cause a crash on the next boot.

      This issue appears due to a missing value in the registry.

      https://github.com/reactos/reactos/blob/30bc0b6b7a468150e701d13bb30655b6749eadf1/win32ss/user/ntuser/display.c#L98

      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\VBoxVideo\InstalledDisplayDrivers

      This issue happens on VirtualBox 7.0, 6.1, and 6.0. Installing the additions from 5.2 works.

      To prevent the bugcheck, the value can be created, however it will not make the driver work.

      Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
       
      [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\VBoxVideo\Device0]
      "InstalledDisplayDrivers"=hex(7):56,00,42,00,6f,00,78,00,44,00,69,00,73,00,70,\
        00,00,00,00,00
      "Device Description"="VirtualBox Graphics Adapter"
      

      This issue does not appear to be specific to ReactOS: after installing the additions on Windows XP SP3 and Windows Server 2003, there will be no display output.

      For convenience, I've uploaded the additions for version 5.1.
