Older download pages contained a hint that you should drop all snapshots and saved states before you upgrade VirtualBox. To solve your problem you could do the following: Install the old version of VirtualBox (1.5.6 is still available on www.virtualbox.org/download), shut down all VMs properly, merge all snapshots. After that, upgrade VirtualBox (I suggest you to upgrade to 2.0.6) and you should be able to start your VMs again. Starting with version 1.6.0, saved states should be usable with newer versions of VBox as well. Kind regards, Frank -- Dr.-Ing. Frank Mehnert Sun Microsystems http://www.sun.com/
