I recommend using virtualbox version: note that VirtualBox is up
to version 4.1.8 & your's is at 4.1.2. Here are the change logs so you
can see the difference:
https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Changelog

Start here:
https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
[note the VirtualBox 4.1.8 Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack]
https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads
[read the entire page - & be sure to 'combine downloading and registering'.

If you still have problems, check:
https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/End-user_documentation
  https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/UserManual.html
    https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch06.html
And of course:
https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Community
