Help ...

Post by malamri »

Hi All,

this is my first post and I am not tech savvoy at all - especially when it comes to error messages.

I have been using Virtual Box for the last year without a problem. Now, when I try and log in I get the following error message:

I have tried reinstalling but nothing seems to work.

Could someone pls guide me in non-technical speak :-) ??

Failed to open a session for the virtual machine Windows.
Failed to load VMMR0.r0 (VERR_SUPLIB_OWNER_NOT_ROOT).
Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: Console
Interface: IConsole {8ab7c520-2442-4b66-8d74-4ff1e195d2b6}


THANK YOU !!

Run the Repair Disk Permissions using DIsk Utility on your MAC host then it should work.
