Failed to Open Session WinXP Image

Post by iconico »

I have a VM of Win XP that I was working on about a year ago.
I have been trying to open it up and getting failure errors. My other VMs from that time work fine.

Code: Select all

Failed to open a session for the virtual machine IE6 - WinXP.

Failed to load unit 'cpum' (VERR_SSM_FIELD_OUT_OF_BOUNDS).

Result Code: E_FAIL (0x80004005)
Component: ConsoleWrap
Interface: IConsole {872da645-4a9b-1727-bee2-5585105b9eed}
I'm on Win 8.1. Log files are attached.
Please help I need this for client work.

Thanks!

There have been two updates to VirtualBox since the version you are using. I suggest you try the latest version.

Discard the Saved State of your VM. See if that fixes it. Oh, and you should really reconsider using so many snapshots and saved states. It may save some time in preventing the shutdown/boot process, but issues like this can occur, especially if you've changed the host OS or the VirtualBox version.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.

If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.

If you want someone to look at your problem again, you need to provide new evidence - i.e. a new log.
