VBoxService.exe failed with rc=VERR_OPEN_FAILED

Post by oe_stefan »

Hallo,

I've got a question relating to the Virtualization of my host machine. Yesterday I used VM Converter to build a VM from my Host System (Windows7), to use it later in a VirtualBox. After the Configuration of the VM and converting the .vmdk to .vdi all things went fine. I was also able to install VBox Guest Additions (all in Version 4.1.0). But I have huge problems with starting the VBox Service or VBoxService.exe.

If it try this from Windows Services than I got an error 1065 and if I try to start it on the command line, I got the following error:
VBoxService: error: VbglR3Init failed with rc=VERR_OPEN_FAILED
I tried to stop other Services, I changed my VBox Configuration and so on, but it's driving me nuts, I got the same error every time.

Hope you can give me a helpful hint,
once already Thx,
Stefan
