Problems occur while running Virtual Box

Asked By Michele Dow Lewis 20 points N/A Posted on - 07/26/2012

Hi all,

A little help if you can. I am running Virtual Box and problems are occurring. Screenshot of error is given below:

Virtual – Error In supIbOsint

Kernal driver not installed (rea – 1908)

Please install the Virtualbox-dkms package and execute

'modprobe vboxdrv' as root

Abort

Failed to open a session for the machine WinXP

The virtual machine 'WinXP' has terminated unexpectedly

during startup with exit code 1.

Details

Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0X80004005)

Component: Machine

Interface: IMachine (5eaa9319-62fc-4b0a-843c-0cb19408a91)

Copy OK

Virtualbox-dkms package is installed on my computer. Sudo modprobe vboxdrv appeared stating that vboxdrv is NOT installed so I installed the package again but the same error occurs.

I then took out virtualbox and installed it again as well as the packages that come with it, but the same error appears.

Can anybody give me straight to the point, easy to follow instructions on how to fix this (I'm not very technical).

Thanks in advance.
