Ok, so now when I click on start:

Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)

The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is probably not loaded.
If you installed or VirtualBox package recently you need to restart the 
computer for the driver to load.



I see this:

[bobg at box10 ~]$ locate vboxdrv
/etc/udev/rules.d/90-vboxdrv.rules

What am I doing wrong, this shouldn't be so complicated? Or is it?

Thanks,

Bob
