when starting a new VM, I click the folder icon and the Add+ button and the program crashes.

Failed to open a session for the virtual machine <vm name>.

@ah1799, although there may be a variety of underlying causes, there's a fairly recent thread {over in the 'VirtualBox on Mac OS X Hosts' forum} that discusses a related issue, 'can't add startup disk on mac osx'; it mentions a couple of workarounds, which hopefully will be of some help.
