[QUOTE="Trolle, post: 1374972, member: 86801"] I used Virtual Box with no problems in the past. However, I reinstalled my OS and the VM was removed. So, now I am trying to create a Windows 7 64-bit VM in Virtual Box. I have an Admin account and a personal account on my MBP. Virtual Box won't let me create a VM in my personal account while the Admin account will. I get the error message: Cannot create the machine folder Windows 7 64 bit in the parent folder /Users/PersonalAccount/VirtualBox VMs. Please check that the parent really exists and that you have permissions to create the machine folder. I was able to get Windows 7 up and running on the Admin account, but it was not shared with my personal account (plus there were a bunch of .DLL files missing from a program that I installed). I find the problem very strange and don't know the best course of action. Mac OS: 10.7.3 Virtual Box: 4.1.8 [/QUOTE]
