New Macbook Pro VirtualBox problem

Post by taketake »

Dear Forum:

I just purchase a new Macbook Pro (13") yesterday. I used the migration assistant to transfer over my account from my old Macbook (CD).
Seemed to transfer over fine however, now VirtualBox fails to start XP. I get some Kernel error (sorry at work so I don't have the exact error right now) when I try and start the XP machine. Also, when I click on settings, I get an some type of USB error.

I was thinking this is due to the new Apple hardware. Anyone else experiencing this issue with the new Macbook Pros?

Thanks

Uninstall your current VirtualBox installation (just drag and drop it from the applications folder into your trash bin) and reinstall it. It worked for me.

The guest OS is detected by the fresh install automatically and it boots as it did before.

Cheers.
