I have two issues : 1.- The first time I start a machine. The window stays gray. If I pause and resume the window turns to black. Virtualbox says it is running, but it is not. 2.- The second and subsequent times I start a virtual machine, virtualbox says that there isn't the kernel driver. The error is : Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005) Component: Machine Interface: IMachine {4d1df26d-d9c1-4c7e-b689-15e85ecf8ffc} And : Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908) Make sure the kernel module has been loaded successfully. What can be done ?
