I have been ignoring the problem. Now when I tried to install 4.1.8, I decided that I would delete the older versions in the directory. That didn't solve the problem. Then I committed stupidity by deleting the .VirtualBox directory. Now VirtualBox does not know where my two guest OS instances are. How do you recover from such a stupid action? I suppose that I won't get any response here on the mailing list; I *must* use the forum to get a response.
