When starting VM, I've got this error (log):

I got the same error. I tried a "repair" but the repair process bluescreened on me 
I uninstalled, then reinstalled, but I'm still getting the same error.
EDIT: I did another repair and this time no bluescreen. Virtual machines launch again, thank goodness, although I had to reboot once more to restore the wireless networking on my laptop.
