You need to go to System -> Administration -> Users and Groups and add the virtualbox group to your user by clicking manage groups -> add groups -> selecting your name and typing vboxusers for your group name. Once you have done that then logout and log back in. You should now have rights to use virtual box. <div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Feb 28, 2008 at 10:54 PM, Willis Taylor <<a href="mailto:gods-servant@sbcglobal.net">gods-servant@sbcglobal.net</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> I have installed Virtual Box using Synaptic and created a WindowsXP engine.
