My machine running just CMS and vLHC together hasn't had a glitch - at all. However, my machine running CMS, vLHC and ATLAS together gets the multiple dead VDi files. If I start the VM manager it gives me a warning and I simply delete the yellowed VDi files and everything is fine. That is, as long as I do that about every 6 hours. As soon at ATLAS has more work available - I'll stop vLHC and assign ATLAS to work with CMS only. I'm willing to bet I'll start having problems on my problem-free machine after that. I'll give an update in a couple of days.

Yes I also have on my 8-core w/8GBram running vLHC X2,Atlas X2,LHC X2,and CMS with no problems (also a Einstein GPU task)

I did a fresh install and used the latest version of vbox - version 4.3.26-98988-Win. I bet you're using the older recommended version and I messed up by using a newer release?

Yes I am using Version: 4.3.18

Haven't tried 4.3.26 yet since I stick to what works until I have to update.

Not sure why some of these tasks get stuck at 100% since it happened on the same version that worked every time on this one.
