Failed to Open a Session for the Virtual Machine NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)

Post by cjMac »

Hello!

I just installed El Captain on my Mac and now my virtualBox does not work. I had windows seven on the virtual machine. I am now getting the user code:

NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Machine
IMachine {22781af3-1c96-4126-9edf-67a020e0e858}

then I get:

Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)

Make sure the kernel module has been loaded successfully.

Can any one help?

1) Uninstall VirtualBox.
2) Re-install VirtualBox.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.
