Failed to open a session for the virtual machine Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP3 x86 Dec 2014.

The virtual machine 'Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP3 x86 Dec 2014' has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1 (0x1). More details may be available in 'D:\Virtualbox\Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP3 x86 Dec 2014\Logs\VBoxStartup.log'.

You could start by posting a zipped copy of the startup log mentioned.

Also review the "security issues" discussion the top of this forum (that's also where you should post the log).

Reverting to 4.3.12 is the short term fix.
