Add yourself to the vboxusers group if the host is Linux (You didn't specify)

During install the group should have been created on the host computer.
In terminal type:
Code: Select all
sudo usermod -a -G vboxusers username
Where username is your login name.

No I could not see that in your screen shot and you never stated. I do not read German and must use a translator. Funny thing thing is they can not translate images.
VirtualBox does not run as administrator. If all you want to do is open the program using a different login all you need to do is put the program Icon in that users program list.

Reinstall VirtualBox in Admin mode (right click the install program and left click run as admin) Select repair. Then reboot and see if it works.
