some time ago I installed VirtualBox on my spare sytem and created an
XP vdi.

I then decided I'd like to run that on my main system so installed
VirtualBox again on this sytem and having saved the XPPro.vdi to an
external harddrive I copied it into ~/me/.VirtualBox/VDI.

I can start up VirtualBox and it tells me that XPPro is powered
off. If I then try to run it I get the following error:

Failed to start the virtual machine XPPro

The VirtualBox support driver which is running is from a different
version of VirtualBox. You can correct this by stopping all running
instances of VirtualBox and reinstalling the software..

VBox status code: -11 (VERR_VERSION_MISMATCH).

Does this mean that I will need to re-install XPPro?
