[SOLVED] Windows XP 64-Bit not working in Win 7 (E_FAIL)

Post by Tarek701 »

(Sorry, for the double post but I think the topic actually fits in here more than the other topic. Sorry about that)

Here is the problem:
Since I installed VB 5.0, Windows XP installation doesn't work anymore. Every time I try to boot from the ISO (installing Windows XP) it always gives me following error:

Code: Select all

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

Code: Select all

Fehlercode:
E_FAIL (0x80004005)
Komponente:
ConsoleWrap
Interface:
IConsole {872da645-4a9b-1727-bee2-5585105b9eed}
VBoxStartupLog:
pastebin(dot)com/JNE3zu44

VBoxLog:
pastebin(dot)com/XWVCH8Tj

Of course (dot) is replaced with .

I don't know what causes this error, but it's really annoying me and I don't want to downgrade on earlier versions or anything. If there's a solution, I would be very thankful because any solutions I tried so far didn't solve the problem except downgrading to 4.1.xx which worked. But anything higher is giving me E_FAIL.

Problem solved:
Ultimate Theme Patcher was responsible for this. It replaced some important files etc. (Windows 7)

Can be fixed by typing into cmd:
sfc /scannow
(requires admin rights)

It will repair the patched files and wants you to restart. After that it works again. Wooho. If you still want to use 3rd party themes etc. you should get ux theme multi-patcher. That one patches the files after they are loaded into memory. However, some may not like that it does this by a service running in the background. You decide.
