It would be better if you posted a VM log rather than... in fact I'm not even sure what log you posted.

Did you by any chance upgrade VirtualBox while the VM(s) were in a suspended state? If so then right click and discard the saved state.

That was the log from the c:\users\{username}\.VirtualBox

Attaching the one from the C:\Users\{username}\VirtualBox VMs\Win7 Secondary\Logs

Discarding the snap shots was actually one of the things I did early on but that has not changed anything.

Hopefully the new log file will help.

by any chance have you tried uninstalling then reinstalling VirtualBox yet?

Sad to say yes. Uninstalled, reinstalled. Uninstalled, shutdown, reinstalled.

Well, AFAIK the error is basically a DLL mismatch. It means that the front end software version that you're running doesn't match that of the dll ("VMMR0.r0") being loaded. Usually when this happens it means that you have an obsolete copy of the VirtualBox executables elsewhere on your path, which you are still running. Those executables look to load DLLs from the standard folder - and fail with a version mismatch.

So, I would look to how you are running VirtualBox. Reinstalling the contents of the standard executable folder will not fix the problem. Only deleting the superfluous copy will fix it.

Suggestions on where the extras DLL's are.

Loading failed for VMMR0.r0 (C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VMMR0.r0)

Ops found the answer to my own question. Next question is do I just delete it or what.?

Loading failed because the wrong executable tried to load it, not because there's anything wrong with the DLL. If you delete the DLL the error message will simply change to "file not found". It's the superfluous copy (in another folder) of the VBox executables that you need to get rid of, not the valid files in the normal folder.

The question you should be asking yourself is whether, at any time in the past, you copied VirtualBox executables out of their correct folder into a non-standard location. For example I've seen noobs do this while thinking that locating the executables on drive X will somehow cause VMs to be located on the same drive - which isn't true btw.

How are you running the VMs? (or trying to anyway). I mean, are you launching from the GUI, double-clicking a desktop shortcut, or something else? If running the GUI, how are you launching the GUI?

Yah been around long enough to know that you can't just copy the folder over and run it from there.

GUI yes. Launching from the windows start menu item.
