Memory can't be written E_FAIL (W7 64 host, Ubuntu 64 guest)
Posted: 3. Feb 2015, 12:56
Hi, I downloaded the latest version of VirtualBox to run Ubuntu 64 bit on my Windows 7 SP1 64 bit machine. It sets up the machine fine, but when I try to start it the following happens:
1) If I start it and do nothing, it comes up with 2 errors, first is an E_FAIL (0x80004005), second is instruction at 0x10051890 referenced memory at 0x10051890 memory could not be written.
2) If I start and quickly select the Ubuntu 64 bit ISO to load from the VM loads for a second and then closes abruptly (probably the same error but it just doesn't show it except in the log).
- VirtualBox Version: 4.3.21 r97963
- Host OS: Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 (64 bit) Fully Updated (including KB3024777-amd64.exe)
- Host Memory: 8 GB RAM
- Guest: Ubuntu (64 bit)
- Guest Memory: 512 MB RAM
- Guest Additions: Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack (Version: 4.3.20 r96996; VRDE Module: VBoxVRDP)
- Guest is using all default settings
Edit: Forgot to mention, as for anti-virus, firewalls, protection software, and debugging programs, I only have:
- Windows Firewall
- Microsoft Security Essentials (with real-time protection turned off)
