So, I installed, hit the icon, nothing happens.

Help? v_v

I'm assuming I've done something wrong.

Thanks you!

Sorry, the application icon. I tried opening VirtualBox from my dock and the Applications folder, still nothing.

If you need more info, ask. I can't think of anything more to give at the moment, since nothing has taken place for me to write about...

And what I mean by that is, no error comes up, no message of any sort. I just try to run VBox, the little blue/white icon bounces once off my dock, and then nothing.

Have you rebooted the host? What happens if you try to start VirtualBox from a terminal?

Well, this is embarrassing. I moved it out of a folder I had it in, and now it runs. lol

*edit* I tried running from Terminal. Terminal told me it could not find the file or directory, which is when I moved it out of the folder I put it in.

Thanks guys. See ya.
