The .vbox-prev(ious) is a backup file. I think it is overwritten with a copy of the .vbox file every now and then when the .vbox file is modified. The .vbox file is the actual configuration file, and the one you have to edit to make this work. It is recommended to close VirtualBox completely and wait several seconds (for the VBoxSVC process to shut down) before editing the file.

I changed my CPU from one that supports VT-x to one that doesn’t, now none of my virtual machines will run

Failed to open a session for the virtual machine *Tiger*.

VT-x is not available (VERR_VMX_NO_VMX).

Result Code:    NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component:      ConsoleWrap
Interface:      IConsole {872da645-4a9b-1727-bee2-5585105b9eed}


I edited the .vbox-prev of the virtual machines, and added:

<HardwareVirtEx enabled=“false”/>

But every time I launch VB, it overwrites the settings, removes <HardwareVirtEx enabled=“false”/>.

I can’t access the Acceleration tab in VB, it’s greyed out, but it must have the VT-x checkbox checked?

Is there some preference file I need to delete?

macOS Sierra 10.12.2

VB 5.1.14 r112924 (Qt5.6.2)
