Hi guys

totaly new here,
searched for a topic with this error code, didn't found one so i think i can ask this question here now.

I'm trying to use VirtualBox, but get an error when i start the virtual machine.
VERR_SUPLIB__WRITE_NON_SYS_GROUP

before i had an other problem VERR_SUPLIB_OWNER_NOT_ROOT and i somehow solved it in the terminal by changing my owner and group. but i have no idea what i was doing.
i got the solution from a topic called " VERR_SUPLIB_OWNER_NOT_ROOT - solved" but it was from the linux installation. ( i noticed this now for the first time)

can anyone help me out? below is a copy of the mess i made.

by the way English is not my native language so there will be some grammar-mistake in my text.

Run the Repair Disk Permissions using DIsk Utility on your MAC host then it should work.

Thanks for the help Perryg. There are some changes made to my HD.
HoweverVitualbox still gives me the same error and doesn't start.

Do you or does anyone else have some other suggestions?
