Error the start any virtual machine in Virtual Box

Post by ba_ca »

Hi,

I hope you can help me, the problem is this, the Virtual Box virtualization software from starting any virtual machine, if I create and use machines already created, but not initiate, I've done everything:

- Reinstalled and updated Virtual Box.
- Enabled in the BIOS VT-x as in VB configurations (which was outdated)
- I assign more processors, more RAM.
- Reinstalled virtual machines.
- I installed Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack.
The error is:

Fallo al abrir una sesión para la máquina virtual ubuntu x64
VT-x features locked or unavailable in MSR
(VERR_VMX_MSR_LOCKED_OR_DISABLED)
Código del resultado: E_FAIL (0x80004005)
Componente: Console
Interfaz: IConsole {db7ab4ca-2a3f-4183-9243-c1208da92392}

I do not know what may be the problem.

The operating system under which it is running is Windows 7 64 bit.

Hopefully I can help, Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Perryg

XP mode or hyper-v?
Either will cause this since you can not have two VMX aware products running at the same time.

Note: even if it is not running hyper-v is active. You must set it to not start at boot time or remove it.
