My error is slightly different to those listed on this forum:
The VM session was aborted.
Result Code: E_FAIL (0x80004005)
Component: SessionMachine
Interface: ISession {12f4dcdb-12b2-4ec1-b7cd-ddd9f6c5bf4d}
I have installed VirtualBox Version 4.3.30 release 101610
On Windows 10 Professional 64-bit
The vbox installation went OK without any errors I configure a new virtual machine in the same way as i have done in the recent past, but now when I get prompted to select the startup disk, I want to chose something other than my optical drive. (ie I want to chose a downloaded .iso file) I would normally click on the folder icon to browse to the location of the .iso.
Thats when I get the message above
I did have vbox up and running prior to upgrading to Win10, however, i tried installing a vbox update and totally f'd up resulting in having to uninstall and totally 'flatten' the registry of any vbox entries. Also deleting any vbox folders on my host machine so that all I had left was my downloaded iso files.
I hope somebody has seen this behaviour before and can highlight something stupidly simple that I have missed.
Setting up the VM prior to installing the guest OS:
General:
Ive left everything as default
System:
Ive given the VM 2048 GB Ram to play with
Ive changed the Boot Order to Hard disk first / CD-DVD drive second and have unticked floppy
Display:
default settings
Storage:
Default settings -- 8GB HDD SPace
Audio:
Disabled
Network:
NAT - enabled
Serial Ports:
Default
USB:

Shared folders:

Hoping someone can help.
