I am having a comparable problem (see https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=87387&sid=b4c17b1f9a92b3743fd03fd73f96fbcc) and I did issue that command, but it did NOT make any difference.
Note that I have been running a WindowsXP VM in VirtualBox for 10+ years.
From your log:
Your Pentium P6200 does not support VT-x, and that might be a problem. You'll need to disable VT-x from the VM configuration, from the VM Settings » System » Acceleration. If you can't do it from the Acceleration tab (it's disabled) you'll need to issue the command:
May I suggest something? It's usually better and faster, if issues get first addressed in the VirtualBox forums. More than 95% of the issues are resolved over there, which keeps the developers focusing on the bug fixes and enhancements, and there is no need for another ticket to keep track of. For example, yours is most probably not a bug and someone from the developers has to deal with it and close it as "Invalid".
