Error starting VirtualBox after Win7 reinstall

Post by AndyS01 »

I recently had to trash my hard drive and reinstall Win 7 (32 bit), VirtualBox 4.3.14r95030, and the corresponding extension pack.

When I start VirtualBox, I get an error popup regarding a Google DLL file:

Code: Select all

C:\PROGRA~1\Google\GOOGLE~1\GO36F4~1.DLL is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error.
Note:
C:\PROGRA~1\Google\GOOGLE~1 expands to
C:\Program Files\Google\Google Desktop Search\GoogleDesktopNetwork3.dll.
If I click on OK, VirtualBox loads OK, but when I try to start one of my VirtualBox Machines, I get this fatal popup error:

Code: Select all

    Error relaunching VirtualBox VM process: 5
    Command line: '81954AF5-4D2F-31EB-A142-B7AF187A1C41=suplib-2ndchild
    --comment XP_on_my_laptop --startvm 9050af60-

See "4.3.14 conflicts with anti-virus" discussion, stickied at the top of this forum. Pay particular attention to the bold red text in the first post.
