I'm using Oracle VM VirtualBox. I have 6 VMs that I've imported. When I click on an individual VM, and then click the camera image (or Ctrl+Shift+S) to take a snapshot, the snapshot process fails and VirtualBox gives the following error:

Failed to create a snapshot of the virtual machine vmName. 

Details:

Result Code: VBOX_E_IPRT_ERROR (0x80BB0005)

This happens not only for one of my VMs, but all of them, if I try to take a snapshot of each one separately, one at a time.

My computer is a Windows 7 machine. I have 200 GB free on my hard drive, and I see no reason why the error should occur. I can import VMs, run them, and clone then without any problems.

Can anyone tell me what to do to fix the issue?
