I have installed the virtualbox software on my iMac running MacOSX Leopard. I have created a VM for Windows 2000. I can't seem to find my old Windows 2000 CD so I downloaded an ISO. When I try to start the the VM I get an error VERR_SUPLIB_OWNER_NOT_ROOT. I'm assuming this stands for something along the lines of supplied library owner not root? If so that's true as I am logged in as myself on the Mac and I don't believe the root account is even activated. I tried going to terminal and changing permissions on the file to 7777, but that didn't help. So I guess I have a couple questions:
1. Do I have to activate the root account to use virtualbox?
2. Am I having issues because of the iso I downloaded? I don't believe so based on the next item.
3. I tried creating a Windows 95 guest for which I still have a CD, but that didn't work either. I get the same VERR_SUPLIB_OWNER_NOT_ROOT when I select the CD and continue.
Someone please help...

If you want to run virtual box as root, just use sudo

Re: Can't install Windows 200 guest
Well, if I had a root account that wouldn't be a problem. The root account is not configured by default and I don't really want to go figure out what I have to do to enable it. From other posts I've seen this wasn't the behavior prior to 4.0 so I'm hoping someone is going to chime in about the fact that they're aware of the issue and will be correcting it shortly.
