Can't start my Virtualbox's

Post by slipd »

Hi guys,

I installed the latest build of Virtualbox last night and tried to install the tech preview of Windows 10 but I got an error soon after the first splash screen disappears - thinking back to when I last tried a Windows 8 distro, it might have been a virtualisation issue? Anyway, this morning I can't create anything at all! I get through the initial setup but when I try to start it up the software hangs and then about a minute later I get this: - I haven't been a member long enough to post addresses, sorry.

"Creating process for virtual machine vmname (GUI/Qt)...(1/2)!

Which basically causes my whole system to hang, even though I can still close Virtualbox...

I've tried Windows 10/7 (pictured above) and XP and they all result in the same behaviour.

Any ideas?

Hmm, something's definitely not right; I just tried the previous version of VB and I got a system error message after trying to start up a new machine...

I would do a disk check on your host.

Also, we really need to see more accurate messages.
