Hello Virtual World !

I just upgrade VB from 2.2.0 to 2.2.2 and I can't start my VM anymore... I got the message : "Cannot acces Kernel driver"

Any idea ?

Host : Win XP Pro SP3 1Gb RAM
Guest : Ubuntu 9.04 300 Mb RAM

Thank you for help.

Try reinstalling VBox and select repair.
Don't forget to update the guest additions

Thanks for answer !

OK... I'll try this and say what..

What do you mean : "update the guest additions" ?
I have to install guest additions once again ?

Guest additions are updates as well. You do not have to but you can run into a lot of problems it you don't.

Ok !

All is all right.
Repair didn' t work, but uninstall/reboot/new install did...

However, guest additions seems very, very, VERY long to install..
