Post by 429brg95jgh »

Hello,

I receive this error when attempting to use an .iso of Win8 x64
Failed to open a session for the virtual machine Windows 8.

Failed to load VMMR0.r0 (VERR_SUPLIB_OWNER_NOT_ROOT).

Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: Console
Interface: IConsole {db7ab4ca-2a3f-4183-9243-c1208da92392}

I have changed the ownership to root...
