Installed latest Virtualbox 4.3.20 on my Windows 8.1 machine. Then downloaded and installed latest Ubuntu 14.04 LTS .iso file from ubuntu.com

After set up and all, the machine asked to restart. After the restart, and logging in, the display only shows the default purple-red wallpaper. No icons, no menu, no status bar, nothing. Only the cursor is visible. What do I do?

I am completely new to Ubuntu / Linux. Please Help.

Configs: core-i3 4030U 4 GB RAM 1TB HDD Windows 8.1

"Virtual Machine" configs: 1 CPU (out of total 4) 1802 MB RAM 64 GB disk space 32 MB display memory
