Tried to start a virtual copy of Win7 in VirtualBox but got the following message.

Any suggestions on how to fix.

Thanks

Yes - ask on either the VB support, or a Linux board.

sounds like you need to reinstall VirtualBox.

has your linux system updated ?

linux normally rebuilds additional kernel drivers e.g vboxdrv automatically after a kernel update using the dkms system.

However, if you have secure boot enabled , they will also need to be re-signed which is a manual operation.
