Does the file exist? Is there perhaps a "Windows 7.vbox-prev"? If so, make a copy of that and rename the copy to "Windows 7.vbox".

Hi Socratis, thanks for your fast answer.

There is a file with this name. The path is: Virtualbox VMs/Windows 7/Windows 7.vbox
and in the same folder there is a file named: "Windows 7.vbox-prev".

What should I do?

Thanks,
Demian

I should have added a couple more questions.
  1. Can you read the file? As in, open it with TextEdit?
  2. Can you do an "ls -laR@ /Users/demianzurstrassen/VirtualBox VMs/" in the Terminal?
  3. Can you post the "Windows 7.vbox" (either as code or preferably as a zipped attachment)?
