<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Thanks Onno,<br><br></div>I set up another VM in VBox 4.3.12 and that too has problems, won't finalise the install (Ubuntu 14.04). So there is obviously a problem with the environment. Perhaps VBox manager settings. Unfortunately in Windows 8.1 but I more suspect the settings than the OS. Will persevere . .<br>
