Hi,

I am newbie to linux, but I did upgrade mint release from 14 to 17.3.
I go to login and get a login message your xsession lasted less than 10 seconds check your .xsession-errors file.

Well here that is:
$ cat .xsession-errors

/etc/mdm/Xsession: Beginning session setup...

I have no idea what any of that means (maybe someone else will), but a fresh install of 17.3 from CD or flash drive might be the easiest solution.

The Virtualbox client software has been uninstalled in the past. But the file /etc/X11/Xsession.d/98vboxadd-xclient is still present, which is only needed, if the Virtualbox client software is present as well.
Suggested Solution:

sudo rm /etc/X11/Xsession.d/98vboxadd-xclient
