VM logging does not even start, so there is no VM log, and this is what I can see in VboxSVC.log:

Wasn't this already reported? When participating in a beta, please keep up with other reports!

mpack, could you show where was this issue reported? I have searched forums and bugtracker before creating this topic (similar topic was created after I created this one).

Beta versions are not discussed on bugtracker, and of course 4.3.14 hasn't been formally released yet so you'll find nothing in the normal forums. Look through earlier recent posts in this forum.

I have exactly the same problems starting any VM with VB 4.3.14 final.
OS is Win7 64 Pro.

This is something more definitive from Frank:

Yes, I have read that, thx.

After deleting the RegKey I was able to start the GUI.
But starting any VM results in the same error described in this thread.
