Thanks, David...can't get much simpler than that!  

Well...almost.  In my case at least, it changed the ownership
of /tmp/.vbox-thpnalb-ipc/ and its two files to root.root.  So I had to
chmod -R that folder to be able to launch VirtualBox as myself.  (This
is the vm lock file)

Thanks for your help, that sure saved me some time! My vmXP is back to
life.
