after updating to version 4.3.4 Virtual box does not work

Post by Wilverley »

I am running a windows 8.1 system with virtual box installed version 4.2 worked fine, this morning I have updated to version 4.3.4 and when I start virtual box I get an error saying " failed to open a session for the virtual machine Win7 localhost. VT-x is not available. (VERR_VMX_NO_VMX).
Result code: E_FAIL (0x80004005)
Component: Console
Interface: IConsole {8ab7c520-2442-4b66-8d74-4ff1e195d2b6}

I have checked the bios of the machine and virtualisation is enabled.
I have also updated the extension pack

Does anyone have a solution to this as I am no longer able to access the files in the virtual machine.

Is it possible to revert back to a previous version that did work without completely screwing up everything

all help gratefully received as I am really panicking because there is a huge amount of work on the virtual machine which I really do not want to lose
