It may be because of you assigned more than 50   RAM memory to your emulator    Open Oracle VM -- gt  Settings -- gt  General And then Decrease memory assigned to the device   And in Newer Versions  Open Oracle VM -- gt  Settings -- gt  System -- gt  MotherBoard Tab And then Decrease memory assigned to the device

I had the same issue and figured it out today  I had to release the existing virtual drives before Genymotion would allow me to create a NEW virtual drive  Once you click create new drive  it prompts you to login to your Genymotion cloud account  Now I am actually able to run it  Hope this helps   Edit  Also tried reinstalling AND repairing Virtualbox multiple times and still got same error  Only until I released the existing virtual drives did it start working

This worked for me using GenyMotion 2 0 3 and VirtualBox 4 3 6   My problem was I have an existing host-only adaptor that is used by Vagrant   I can t simply delete it  it will trash my Vagrant VM   Create a new host-only adaptor in the Virtual Box global settings  Give it a separate address space from any existing host-only adaptors   For example  I set mine up as follows  where I also have a vboxnet0  used by Vagrant  that uses 192 168 56 x  name   vboxnet1 IPV4 address  192 168 57 1 mask          255 255 255 0  DHCP  address 192 168 57 100 mask   255 255 255 0 low bounds   192 168 57 101 high bound  192 168 57 254  Then  edit your existing GenyMotion VM to use this host-only adaptor  and restart it from GenyMotion   Good luck
