virtual box not running giving error

[superman]

Sorry to bump up this stone-cold thread, but I just got trapped by the same error message again while transplanting the KNOPPIX 7.4.2 to a bit newer laptop yesterday. After messing around for a while, I just realised that, apart from the existence of the old /dev/vboxdrv, running with 64-bit kernel was also another cause for the error.

Here is the error I am getting any tips I would be grateful!...

The virtual machine 'Windows XP' has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1 (0x1).

 

 
 Result Code:
 NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)

 Component:
 MachineWrap

 Interface:
 IMachine {f30138d4-e5ea-4b3a-8858-a059de4c93fd}

Here is the content of my vboxconfig file...
