I installed Sun Virtual box 3.0.10 and changed the preferences to E:\Users for both Hard drives and default Machine however i am not
able to make a snapshot or do a clonevdi without getting the error that the VER ACCESS DENIED on VirtualBox.xml, thinking i should reset
it back to the C:\Users now i get the same message and am unable to go to either E:\ or C:\

My host is Win7 64bit my guest is ubuntu karmic 64bit

I might add that the VM is turned off when these actions were attempted.

Ok i got it fixed.
I went to C\Users and deleted the .xml file however before i could do this I made a copy and had to reboot because some process had control of that file
even though vbox had been shutdown. After rebooting i restarted vbox and it presented a registration form, I though wow this is wiered so when i tried to
re-register it complained about some file missing, so i copied the backup .xml file back to its original place and name and restarted my vm, I tried to make a
snapshot and it worked.

Unreal,
If you are going to hijack a thread you might as well give us some information of what exactly your problem is.
Be specific and detailed!

This error has repeated itself, rebooting the host and then attempting a snapshot then worked. attaching logs
