There's no need to try several extension packs, just install the correct one. I.e. the one whose version matches the version of VirtualBox you've installed. It would help if you gave some clue as to the latter question.

If the title is correct and you really are running VirtualBox 4.3.20, then it's the 4.3.20 extension pack which you need to install. If it doesn't install then I need the exact error message.

Your extension pack is the latest version, VirtualBox is not. Get the latest from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

So the topic title is not correct.

If you want to continue running VBox 4.3.10 then you need to download and install the extension pack 4.3.10.

Or, you can upgrade to the latest version as Socrates suggests, however I myself wouldn't recommendt doing that until the hardening issues have settled down. I would stick with 4.3.10 or 4.3.12 at most.
