VirtualBox Doesn´t Open!

Post by Rafael Sousa CWB »

Hi,

I´ve recently changed my Laptop, and instaled the latest version of VirtualBox on it.

But, it doesn´t open!

On task manager, I can see the tasks, but the application doesn´t opens. See the attached file...

Anyone knows whats happening? I´m trying to run it in a laptop with Windows 7 64bit.

Thanks a lot, and sorry for my terrible english!

I'm wondering why there are six copies of the VirtualBox Manager open.

There are three groups of people. Those that can count and those that can't.

Every time I try to open a new copy appears in the task manager.
And today I have tried to open these 6 times!

I would shut down VMware and then try to run VirtualBox.
Of course you need to reboot first to clean the ones that are already loaded.

Did you happen to compare the checksums of your VirtualBox downloads? It's possible you have a bad download.

Hello,

I let my computer ON in the office during the whole weekend, and when I arrived today in the morning, all the 8 copies of VirtualBox were open!...

Three days to open it... something is really strange here... (no, it´s not an old 486 DX266, its a new computer, i7, 8gb...)

Now a just restart my system and try to open again (just once) but, its not opening... lets wait 2 more days... :D

Thanks!

Sounds like some kind of network access problem, or software updates.

All indications are an issue on the host. GPO, corrupt reg, or malware.
