Guest OS not starting after upgrade to 6.1.16

Post by ZES »

Hi guys,
I have similar problem, after start is reported following error: Could not launch the VM process for the machine 'XPmode' (VERR_PROC_ELEVATION_REQUIRED). As showed the guest OS is 32-bit WinXP. Downgrade to the old version 6.0.14 didn´t help. May be something wrong has been recorded on virtual HD or remains in config files. Do you have similar experience ?
Thanks.

Web-searching:
"Could not launch the VM process" VERR_PROC_ELEVATION_REQUIRED site:forums.virtualbox.org
didn't reveal many posts. Check this out and see if anything there fits your setup: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=96965

If your VM ran before the upgrade to Virtualbox, try re-running the installer by right-clicking it and Run As Administrator, even if you already have Admin privileges,
