This error has two typical reasons:<br>
1) VirtualBox wasn't installed correctly or<br>
2) the file ~/Library/VirtualBox/VirtualBox.xml has been corrupted.<br>
<br>
The first issue should be resolved by re-installing, and to check if
it is caused by the second you can move the file elsewhere and then
try starting VirtualBox.<br>
<br>
BTW, there is a troubleshooting chapter in the manual which gives
additional hints - the information you provide is rather sparse, and
such problems are very rare.<br>
