Yeah, I thought it might be a permissions problem, so I tried running virtualbox as administrator. Same error. I tried changing a number of the settings that were questionable. No change.
Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be many things to try at this early stage - and the error message doesn't tell me much. I was hoping that somebody would recognize it and have an easy solution.
Here are some extra details:
**Vista on a thinkpad laptop
**Trying to use an ubuntu iso image file (downloaded directly from the website)
**I'm happy to relate any settings, but I'm not sure which others are relevant.
Is anybody having success using virtualbox on vista?
