I run the box again, an this time i get -1909 error, also i obtain NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005) error :?:

The 1909 error usually means that you are not in the VBoxusers group. You must add yourself to this group (your exact name that you log on with)
the NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005) usually means you do not have permission, which can still be the same issue.

Make sure that you have these entries and be sure to log out and log back in.
