Hi, I'm using Windows 7 64-bit SP1 with a Windows 7 64-bit SP1 guest. When I try to start my VM it fails to open and gives me this error: "Failed to open session for the virtual machine". I've already enabled something in the bios that said something like Enable Intel Virtualization.
CPU-z says the CPU supports VT-x
Intel Core i5 3570 (Ivy Bridge)
8 GB DDR3 RAM. I had plenty of RAM free to start the guest.
Asus M32AA motherboard.
Log is attached. Can anyone tell me what the problem is please. Thanks

Re: Failed to open session for the virtual machine
Your hardening exit code is 1. See Diagnosing VirtualBox Hardening Issues, end of post 3 and post 4. Suspect any web-safe-browsing or security software, try complete uninstall of these as a test.

Re: Failed to open session for the virtual machine
OK my PC had minimal software installed on it. The only security software was Kaspersky Anti-Virus which I've uninstalled now. But the VM still won't load. It gives this error: "The virtual machine 'FeralHosting UK VPN - Windows 7 64-Bit SP1' has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1"
New Log attached.
Is there something else causing the problem?

Re: Failed to open session for the virtual machine
Post 4 discussed something that both old and new log also show. Did you read and try what post 4 suggested?
