Virtualbox & Genymotion not functioning
I had a working version of both Virtualbox and Genymotion on my Ubuntu 13.04 machine. I must have inadvertantly erased or removed some esential programs because now when I try to run either I get the following critical error message box:
_______
Virtualbox Critical Error
Failed to create the VirtualBox COM object.
The application will now terminate.
Start tag expected, '<' not found.
Location: '/home/
/home/vbox/

I've reinstalled Virtualbox with both the Software Center and the Gdebi Package Installer but I still get the same error.
I had installed VMplayer via the teminal on the same machine which does run. I didn't like it in comparison to Virtualbox so I tried to remove it but am not having any luck in doing so.
Can anyone direct me as to how to get these programs back up and running amd with the removal of VMware Player?
