0x80bb0005 (Could not launch a process for the machine ‘Windows XP’ (VERR_ACCESS_DENIED))
That error pops up anytime I try to launch a VM. I can however launch it if I have VBOX launched as root.
Would also like to know how to enable 3D acceleration and any other optimizations. I want to use it for a specific MMORPG, and was going to run it via TWM.

Which version of openSUSE?
Which version of VirtualBox?

I made an alias which I called vboxperm to solve this kind of problem. It makes all virtual machines with their config and log files belonging to user root and group vboxusers and set the correct access rights. Obviously your users have to be members of the vboxusers group. Just replace /srv/vbox in this example with the path where you store your virtual machines and write this alias in /root/.alias (if you use one) or in /root/.bashrc … or put these commands in a script, but it has to be run as root.
alias vboxperm='find /srv/vbox -type d -exec chmod 775 "{}" ";" -exec chown "root:vboxusers" "{}" ";" ; find /srv/vbox -type f -exec chmod 664 "{}" ";" -exec chown "root:vboxusers" "{}" ";"'
The trick is only meaningful if you intend to run the same virtual machine as different users. If you are the only user and you never run VirtualBox as root, you won’t have this problem nor need to change ownerchip and permissions of these files.
