Cannot open .ova created in older VBox

I created an .ova from VirtualBox 4.3.10-93012-Win

VirtualBox prompted me to update, so I did!
Bad move I guess as my .ova no longer loads in 4.3.12-93733-Win

I uninstalled 4.3.12, installed 4.3.10 but same error when opening the .ova again (below)

Thanks for any suggestions

well, you don't attach .ova files to the optical drive for one thing. you import them as an appliance.
