Help! VM stopped booting! Error: 0x80004005

[MChristiana]

Hello all,

I hope this is the right place to post this, apologies if not.
I manage a computer for a friend's daughter for whom I installed Virtualbox to play old games on Windows XP. I just updated the pc to Windows 10 from 8.1 after which the virtual XP still worked fine. However after updating Virtualbox from 4.? to 5 the XP guest won't boot anymore giving this error:
The virtual machine 'Windows XP oud' has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1 (0x1). More details may be available in 'C:\Users\Joëlla\VirtualBox VMs\Windows XP oud\Logs\VBoxStartup.log'.


Resultaatcode:
E_FAIL (0x80004005)
Component:
MachineWrap
Interface:
IMachine {f30138d4-e5ea-4b3a-8858-a059de4c93fd}


I am not sure what is the cause of this error. I am not even sure if the error was caused by updating the virtualbox, or whether something else in the host or guest pc has changed making it unable to work. If it is possible to fix the guest pc that would be the prefered option as the girl will otherwise lose all her progress in the games.
Can anyone help me? I've attached the log mentioned in the error.

Thanks!

Update:
I just tried starting another already existing VM but it did not work giving the same error. I will try removing and reinstalling the entire VB program, hopefully that will work. I can't think of much else I could try.

Anyone?

It looks like imagehlp.dll has been replaced with a non-standard Windows file.

Try running the following on the host in an elevated command window.

Code: Select all

sfc /scannow
