[solved] Restoring VBox settings from other installation

[benni]

hi folks,

i had to reinstall my host system, win7, due to a hardware change.

this has probably been asked a thousand times, but i couldn't find it here in the forums:
i'd like to use the old VMs and settings in my new install.

i tried to copy the settings files from my old install (c:\users\<user>\.VirtualBox) and i found all my VMs in VBox. but i couldn't start them. i got an error that i'll attach as a jpg.

to make things more complicated, my old version was 4.x (i can't tell anymore), but the new one is 5.0.10 r104061.

can you help me here, please?
