Broken VB after reinstallation of MacOS

Post by nilsonsium »

Hello,
I am running Win XP as virtual machine on Mac OS X 10.4.11 using VB (2.2.4 r47978). After reinsalling the host system, VB still starts without any error. However, the startup of Windows fails with

Code: Select all

Failed to open a session for the virtual machine windoof.
Virtual machine 'windoof' has terminated unexpectedly during startup.

Details:
Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: Machine
Interface: IMachine {13420cbb-175a-4456-85d0-301126dfdec7}
In another error window VB says

Code: Select all

Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)
Make sure the kernel module has been loaded successfully.
I guess it has something to do with the reinstallation of MacOS X. Any suggestions what I could do to get windows running again - without reinstalling the virtual machine?

Thanks,

nilsonsium

Just reinstall VB. VMs won't be affected.
Read the Forum Posting Guide before opening a topic.
VirtualBox FAQ: Check this before asking questions.

VBOX does not support Windoof. USe Windows instead of this. :)
