Error failed to start 'HGCM'

Post by Gutchi »

Hello,

I had save state of one VM yesterday, and now i can't start it, i have this error:

Code: Select all

Failed to load unit 'HGCM' (VERR_INVALID_PARAMETER).


Code d'erreur : 
NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Composant : 
ConsoleWrap
Interface : 
IConsole {872da645-4a9b-1727-bee2-5585105b9eed}
I have made some try to start it, but it always failed. Si i have made a snapshot of it, and restore a previous snapshot, it start, but the previous snapshot is very old!
I want to restart my last snapshot if it possible.

In vm log i have this

Code: Select all

Search on google, say me sometime it a problem with a shared folder (i use one), but if i remove it from the gui, i have this error:

Code: Select all

The machine is not mutable or running (state is Saved).


Code d'erreur : 
VBOX_E_INVALID_VM_STATE (0x80BB0002)

And via the .vbox file, there is no change..

If you have an idea.

Thank in advance

Did you upgrade VirtualBox while VMs were in a saved state? If yes then you took a risk. If that risk didn't pay off then all you can do is discard the saved state (right click VM, Discard saved state).

If you need to continue this conversation then provide a complete VM log file. With the VM fully shut down (not running, not suspended), right click it in GUI. Select "Show Log" and save "VBox.log" (ONLY) to a zip file. Attach the zip here.
