VirtualBox not Starting on Windows 7

Post by geewhan »

Hi,

I have downloaded VirtualBox awhile ago and worked fine sometimes. Now I am not able to run it or able to boot Kubuntu.

I have attached .png file where this is where the virtualbox stays. It will not go any further.

I was wondering if anyone has suggestions or ideas.

I have rebooted my laptop (64 bit) and it does not work.

I have read other forums where itunes caused almost the same problem (not exactly sure if it is the same problem), but I do not own
itunes or any major application running when just starting my laptop.

Thanks

So, in fact VirtualBox is starting fine, it's only your VM which is giving trouble.

mpack,

Could you please tell me what is wrong with my Virtual Machine?

Also the link to that forum. I do not understand the directions.


Thanks

I can't tell you anything until you provide basic diagnostic information, particularly the log file.

Read the instructions in the link message I gave you.

mpack,

Could you please tell me where this is located

right click the guest in the VirtualBox main manager and select show log.

What is the main manager?

The direction is unclear to me so I am having a hard time following.

Thanks

The main manager is the thing you use to run VMs. I.e. the VirtualBox application through which you do everything, including this.

mpack,

are you referring to this?
I have put those four log files into the zip folder onto this message.

I really hope this is the one.

Thanks
