Cannot manage or install Solaris 10 in VirtualBox

I have a windows7 system and I have several different instances of Solaris and Linux running under VBox.I routinely use VBox to prototype various Solaris environments for work.

The one day I could no longer log into the desktop session of solaris 10 instances. I could command-line login, but in the desktop after user name, no keyboard input.
I have uninstalled VBox, deleted all files and folders; lost all of my work; downloaded and installed VBox again and a new solaris images to install.
The Solaris 11 install went fine.
For Solaris 10, I can select the console session from the boot menu, but after 'configuring devices' I *still* lose all ability for keyboard input and cannot proceed to #3 or #4 for ZFS root.

Howdy, Stranger!
