Rob proposed the following answer:
Did you install the latest version of Virtualbox?

If not do this in a terminal.

Add this line. deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian
jaunty non-free´ to your /etc/apt/sources.list.

Type this to do that. sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

Then the next step.

Enter this in a terminal.wget -q
http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/sun_vbox.asc -O- | sudo
apt-key add -

Then run this command in the same terminal. apt-get install
virtualbox-3.0


Follow the instructions on your screen. After this, reboot and try again. Let us know if it works or not. If not, we can look further...
