KIO-Slave errors on Live boot in Virtual Box guest machine on XP host

[Guest]

Hello, all. I have a classmate who is trying to install Kubuntu 8.04 as a Vitual Box guest machine on a Windows XP host as part of an assignment. Booting from a Live CD successfully loads GRUB and starts the X.org server, but then displays several errors related to KIO and KIO Slaves, and freezes on a Kubuntu login background with no login box. She is completely new to Linux, and I normally use Ubuntu, so the KDE/KIO errors are beyond my experience. Does anyone have nany idea what might be causing this, or even better, a fix or workaround?

Cheers and TIA,

John
