can't get virtualbox service to start in windows 7 guest
Posted: 8. May 2011, 05:25
Hello,
I have installed on ubuntu natty 11.04 virtualbox 4.0.6. I created a windows 7 virtual machine. I installed VB extensions and usb access works. I have installed guest additions several times with the same results. It installs (whether installed in or out of safe mode) fine, but after the reboot, the VirtualBox Service won't start. The only error I can find is that is timed out in 3000 milliseconds. If I try to start the service manually, it almost immediately fails to start. If I use session information from the menu, it doesn't see Guest Additions (probably due to the service not running). All windows 7 event viewer shows is the timeout message.
Any ideas? The log file under the vm directory doesn't' really show anything related to why the service is not starting.
Thanks!
