A zip will do a lot better, please.

Meanwhile go carefully through Diagnosing VirtualBox Hardening Issues, and look through your host PC for any extra antivirus, nanny-style 'web-safe-security' software, Trusteer Rapport, HP ProtrectTools, etc., which often cause trouble.

Also re-install Virtualbox using right-click-Run-As-Administrator, even if you already are an admin.

Thanks for the help, and apologies for poor problem description
Oracle virtual box loads and I click on Start > XP which always worked previously.
That's when I get the error.
I am running Avast and Trusteer and these ran when XP worked.
attached is the Zipped log and thanks again for your reply.

What version were you running previously to the update?

Temporarily, try uninstalling Trusteer, Avast, Malwarebytes, and ZoneAlarm. Disconnect from the internet if you are worried about running your PC without these softwares installed. (Don't just disable, uninstall.)

Reboot your PC, then reinstall Virtualbox by running the installer via right-click-Run-As-Administrator, even if you already have Admin privileges.

Now try Virtualbox. If Virtualbox runs, then install one of these programs again, reboot and try Virtualbox again. If Virtualbox runs again, keep installing one at a time, rebooting and trying Virtualbox until the other programs are all back.

If they all get reinstalled, then that happens sometimes. A reinstall of everything sometimes allows coexistence.

If Virtualbox stops running, then the last program installed is probably the offending party.

Regarding Trusteer Rapport:
Virtualbox problem with Trusteer Rapport
IBM's workaround
IBM's solution
a script to implement IBM's solution
Or run Trusteer Rapport in a guest, not on the host.

Thanks
I will try your suggestions
