     @ClarusPlusPlus virtualbox likes to spontaneously develop "can't run VMs"

     ok so this is weird!

     I decided to write off that VM as lost, and create a new one. Created a new VM with a fresh new virtual hard drive, pointed it at my Windows XP ISO, and.... same message on boot up.

     So it seems that *any* VM is immediately failing with an unspecified "critical error"

     Wonder what the hell that's about

     @ClarusPlusPlus I had to spend two hours updating my Ubuntu earlier this week, just to get back to my windows 3.1 vm

     @ClarusPlusPlus same thing happened to me. I don't know what that's about

     I tended to save anything I worked on in Photoshop onto the host anyway

     Huh. So, forcing an upgrade to VirtualBox 7.0 fixed it

     Still weird, though, that VirtualBox 6 would just randomly decide to not work anymore with perfectly-good VM that ran just fine the day before 🤷♀️

     I have no idea what I'm looking for in the log, and I don't have the time or patience to investigate, so I think I'm just going to try to get Photoshop running in Wine and accept that anything on that VM's hard drive is inaccessible until I can figure out how to recover it
