Oracle_VM-error at startup

Question

I am using Oracle vm with windows as host machine and linux on VM. I had everything working, but once i used 'power off' when it took time to start. Since i am not able to start the OS on VM. I am getting errors as below.

Error relaunching VirtualBox VM process: 5 Command line: '60eaff78-4bdd-042d-2e72-669728efd737-suplib-3rdchild --comment RedHat_Linux_64bit_4GB --startvm 42e4c558-83d4-431c-a971-71ca9e1f4112 --no-startvm-errormsgbox "--sup-hardening-log=C:\Users\bhargav.vijay.desai\VirtualBox VMs\RedHat_Linux_64bit_4GB\Logs\VBoxHardening.log"' (rc=-104) where: supR3HardenedWinReSpawn what: 5 VERR_INVALID_NAME (-104) - Invalid (malformed) file/path name.

I am able to see a file in snapshots folder which is large in size. (2016-08-16T05-57-16-295692800Z.sav). Have uploaded an image. I am on lookout for solutions.

Answer 1

Restart of the system helped me resolve the issue. Also the snapshot files (.sav extensions) are of no use in this case.

Answer 2

I was struggling with this one on HP Elite Book for some time and I found solution here.

The solution is to go to HP Sure Sense -> Settings -> Advanced Settings and turn off Enhanced Thread Protection.

It's not my solution, but I hope it's good to have here for someone in the future.
