Can't start the virtual machine any longer

[Sg]

Hi,

Please help

I wanted to start my virtual machine yesterday and i get a pop up with the error message (screen shots).

The only changes I made to the host is another mouse, and I added a second monitor, so the host has a dual monitor. I don't know if this has anything to do with my virtualbox or virtual machine, but i figured i'll mention it.

Can you please tell me if there is a way out? Can i reinstall virtualbox but keep the image? I don't want to lose all the work on my image.

Thank you,

Sg

I have the same problem and could not start the virtual machine. My laptop is running VBox 2.0.2, XP SP3 as the host, and Ubuntu 8.04 as the guest. Used to be fine. The only change I can remember was to connect with a dock station (external monitor) recently.

I removed VBox and re-installed. Still the same. Please advise. Thanks.

The reason was that I changed drive of the CD-ROM from F: to E: in Windows. Fixed now.
