Hello! - I'm new to all this stuff, but i decided to try it out..
So first of all. I am starting out by creating a vm running Linux Mint.
I followed an online tutorial on how to install everything, but when i launched the VM for the first time i got an error message saying:
"Unable to load R3 module C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox/VBoxDD.DLL (VBoxDD): GetLastError=1790 (VERR_UNRESOLVED_ERROR)." and an option to show advanced.
In the advanced menu it says:
"Could not open a session to this virtual machine Mint (I called this VM for "mint").

Unable to load R3 module C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox/VBoxDD.DLL (VBoxDD): GetLastError=1790 (VERR_UNRESOLVED_ERROR).

Return code: E_FAIL (0x80004005)
Component: Console
Card: IConsole {8ab7c520-2442-4b66-8d74-4ff1e195d2b6}"

I tried asking around, but i could not get a clear answer, so I'm trying here :)

- If more info is needed please say so, im new, and not totally sure what to write :)

In order to better understand the problem you need to submit some more information. Please read the following: Minimum information needed for assistance.

Also, take a look at the discussion: Windows 4.3.20 specifically for errors due to security. I have a feeling that you might face a similar problem. You might find some newer test builds and/or other helpful hints. Here is one hint; it's not just that KB that a lot of people have been sidetracked by. It's a lot of things (antivirus, firewalls, debuggers, emulators, theme changers, etc). Here's another hint; try VirtualBox 4.3.12.
