Failed to open session.

Post by Alaris »

Hi, I just installed VirtualBox and created a fixed hard drive Mac 32 bit VM. I tried to start it and got this:

Failed to open a session for the virtual machine Mac.

The virtual machine 'Mac' has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1.

Result Code: E_FAIL (0x80004005)
Component: Machine
Interface: IMachine {480cf695-2d8d-4256-9c7c-cce4184fa048}

Any help is welcome!

The answer is in the FAQ: Mac OS X guest on a Windows Host.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.
Do NOT reply with the "QUOTE" button, please use the "POST REPLY", at the bottom of the form.
If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.
