Description
Hello all, till VBOX 3.1.2 everything was OK. After upgrading to 3.1.6 (3.1.4 has the same "problem") the following error message is displayed when trying to start an already existing (and working in 3.1.2) virtual machine (guest system OpenSuse_11.1): "VMSetError: VMMR0 driver version mismatch. Please terminate all VMs, make sure that VBoxNetDHCP is not running and try again. If you still get this error, re-install VirtualBox". I have re-installed the 3.1.6 version but without result. VBoxNetDHCP is disabled. I would appreciate if you could provide some help.
Regards Yorgos Trapalis ytrapal@…

Replying to frank:
There is definitely some installation problem. Please could you uninstall VirtualBox completely, then reboot, then check if it is really uninstalled and then install VBox 3.1.6 again?
Thnks for your response. I have tried your work-around but whithout result. However what do you mean "...check if it is really uninstalled ..." ? Search in the registry or what ? The home operating system is Vista and the guest one is OpenSuse_11.1. I have observed that the same problem occurs also when I try to create a new VM.

No need to search in the registry but check the path where you previously installed VirtualBox (somewhere under c:\program files\Sun\...) and ensure that the start menu item vanished. You should also enable .msi logging during the installation of the package.
Wild guess: You don't mix the version from the website with an OSE version, do you?

Hello Frank,
I have un-installed the VBOX 3.1.2, I have installed the 3.1.6, I have collected the requested logs (installer and driver ones), I have tried un-successfully to start a VM using 3.1.6 and finally I have collected the VM's running failed attempt log. All the logs (3 files) have been attached. The VBOX version tried to run is 3.1.6 and it is not mixed with any OSE version.
Regards Yorgos.

Finally the problem was solved with VBOX 3.2.0 installation. I had to un-install the version 3.1.2, reboot and install newer version 3.2.0.
