XP Guest Aborting

Post by KeironLowe »

This is the error it gave me:

Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: Console
Interface: IConsole {6375231a-c17c-464b-92cb-ae9e128d71c3}

This is from the log:

00:00:02.893 ********************* End of statistics **********************

According to the log file you are trying to use VT-x/AMD-v and the host can not provide it for what ever reason.
Take the check mark out of VT-x/AMD-v in the guest settings and see if it will start.
