Hi,
I use windows 7. My virtual box had been working fine until recently when my C drive ran out of disk space. I have problems opening the virtual box, or the virtual box would shut down on its own when my C drive has less than like 20mb of free space, so I need to use CCcleaner to clean up a bit of the free space before I use the virtual box.
It was getting quite annoying, so I used MiniTool to extend my C drive yesterday, and now my C drive has like 10GB of free space. However, I can no long turn on the virtual box, the error message keeps appearing every time when I try to turn on the virtual box. I tried to reinstall and update the virtual box, but it still didn't work.

Thanks in advance,

P.S I cannot upload the entire log file all at once; it says it is too big, so I have to upload only part of it at a time.

one more txt file.

Zipped logs will fit in one piece. Something to keep in mind for the next log.

But you issue is known. Your 3rd-party Antivirus has enabled its hardware virtualization option. This prevents Virtualbox from running.

Fin the 3rd-party AV's hardware virtualization option, disable it. Virtualbox should then work well again.

Thanks! I just disabled the antivirus program, and the virtual box is working fine now Now that I think about it, I switched to AVG a few weeks ago(i was using Avast before), and that was when the error message started popping up, so I guess the problem has nothing to do with the disk space then.

Correct. All that happens when host disk space runs out is the VM pauses, and a pop-up asks for you to clear up host disk space. The the VM should be able to resume when there is enough space available.

FWIW both of these have been causing this trouble. I have heard one of them bought the other.
