VM won't run

Post by Broytsch »

When I click on the green arrow to start my VM (Windows XP), it does not start. A pop-up informs me that "the VM session was closed before any attempt to power it on".

The error message is:-
E_FAIL (0 X 800040005)

How do I overcome this problem, please?

Reply to myself, and all to who have inspected my posting!

I've solved the problem myself (with my wife looking on - that probably made all the difference!!).

So "panic" over!!
