Hi

Why not install Elyssa. You do not say what your hardware is but it may benefit from installing the x 64 edition.

leo5111,

It is saying it can't find a suitable kernel module. You should be able to recompile the appropriate module with this command, run from the terminal:

sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

Hopefully this will solve your problem.
