VirtualBox 1.5.0 cannot start on my windows XP

[ebiber]

When start virtualbox I have a dialog with following text
title: VirtualBox - Critical Error
Failed to initialize COM or failed to find VirtualBox COM server. Most likely, the VirtualBox server is not running or failed to start.
The application will now terminate.
Call RC: RPC_E_CHANGED_MODE (0x80010106)

With 1.4 I don't have this problem. Does anybody have idea how to resolve this problem.

Can you create a ticket for this in our bugtracker? (http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/623)

You are able to use 1.4 after a reinstall?

[ebiber]

Yes, I can use VirtualBox 1.4. after reinstall.

The same problem.
When trying to run VboxSVC nothing happens.

Send me a private message and I'll give a link to a test build that is supposed to fix the problem. Thanks.

Hi, I'm a brand new user of virtualbox and got the same error message here.

Relevant info:
Host - Windows XP - Serv.Pack 2 - *Brazilian Portuguese* on a Sony Vaio (laptop) Pentium M 1.2 GHz, 1Gb Ram.

Could you send me a link to this test build?

Forgot to say: I've tried the method FAQ suggests for Vista

Code: Select all

cd \Programs\InnoTek VirtualBox
VBoxSVC.exe /ReRegServer
regsvr32.exe VBoxC.dll

Answer was: registration OK. But still doesn't work.

Thanks in advance.

I am having the same problem with mine at startup. Any suggestions?

I am using a IBM T60 with Windows XP installed.

Thanks

Me too.

For those that sent me private messages: the new build doesn't fix the problem, so there's no point in sending the link to you too.

I'll update the bugtracker ticket once there's more information. Thanks.

Just wondering if there was any new clues or workarounds for the apparent VBoxSVC problem.

1.5 works great on my desktop - my Acer laptop running XP Tablet edition is another story.

I've tried nearly everything I can think of. The VBoxSVC definitely seems to be running in the background, but the VirtualBox application either doesn't detect it, or somehow can't connect to it.

I really don't want to have to check out a copy of the sourcecode to figure out a solution myself. Plz post any relevant information you may have to assist in finding a workaround.

Thanks!

You might be able to try http://web.archive.org/web/200703230307 ... in_x86.msi

Todd, ebiber, can you confirm that the problem exists only when you use VirtualBox.exe and not e.g. VBoxManage or VBoxSDL?
