Does the virtualbox app actualy load, or is that what shows the error?
have you posted on the VirtualBox forum too? It's more specific to your issue.

You could uninstall Virtual Box firstly.
And then going to Virtual Box Web site to download both current Virtual Box and extension pack.
As said Andrew, you can try Virtual Box forum.
