I recommend you to rename your ~/.VirtualBox folder to ~/.VirtualBox-backup , and create a new folder with old name (~/.VirtualBox). This will force you to re-create your VMs, but it's VERY quick process, as long as you have virtual hard disks. -- -Alexey Eromenko "Technologov" _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
