E_FAIL (0x80004005)

Keep getting the E_FAIL (0x80004005) when every I try to boot up the VM. I have attached the most recent log.

Your hardening log has an exit code of 1. See Diagnosing VirtualBox Hardening Issues

Apparently there are problems with "opengl32.dll" and "glu32/dll", both graphics files.

Try starting your guest "Detachable Start" using the dropdown triangle next to the main Virtualbox window's Start toolbar button. If the guest starts without error, then maybe your host PC graphics drivers need an update.

If the guest continues to have errors even with Detachable start, please zip and post a guest vbox.log, using the forum's Upload Attachment tab.

Get the error regardless of the way I try to start. Log attached.

More information is had in this log, except for one accidental deletion of the version of Virtualbox in the first line:

Hardening is not happy with a theme hack you have on the Windows 10 host, but it may be just rejected rather than crash the guest. Then again, maybe it is crashing the guest:

You're trying an XP guest and apparently trying 3D acceleration:

If you are running 6.1.x, which the missing part at the very beginning would have shown, then XP can no longer run with 3D acceleration. The VboxVGA video card the error mentions no longer can use 3D acceleration, and the VboxSVGA video card does not have drivers for XP to use its 3D acceleration.

Additionally, the "opengl32" error shows something may be wrong with your host PC's video drivers, perhaps related to the theme hack, perhaps not.

First, try setting the XP guest to no 3D acceleration. Try to run the guest.

If the guest still errors out, try updating your host video drivers.

If the guest still errors out again, try removing the host PC theme hack.

Ok i found the theme. it was classic shell. still doesn't boot here is the updated log.

[scottgus1]

theme-hacked uxtheme.dll , troubled opengl32.dll, and 3D acceleration are still present.
