If you didn't read the first topic on this thread please do. It has almost the same title as yours. And 47 answers so far.

And in the future, please give more details. "Fails" isn't detailed enough...

1. I changed the title of the topic to more accurately reflect the situation.
2. The "STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND" error message has been around for quite sometime. A quick search shows that there are several ways to try and fix it:
   • Uninstall/re-install VirtualBox. With right-clicking on the installer, "Run as Administrator", choosing NOT to run VirtualBox at the end of the installation.
   • Installing (again?) the "VBoxDrv.inf". Check out this thread (viewtopic.php?f=6&t=66442) that reported a lot of successful cases, especially the instructions from "kpenrose".
3. Maybe something is wrong with the specific build, but I doubt it, because there have been a lot of users that have been testing it. Try the above solutions and if they don't work, please report back. Actually, report back in any event, just so we know if and what fixed it.

Yes. Installingg VB as administrator seems to have done the trick. Installleed Guest Additions sucessfully. I'm going to let this run for some time to see if other problem come up but all is well now. Post should be marked as fixed
