Genymotion emulator Error starting virtual device, "player.exe" has stopped

I have installed Genymotion 3.1.0 with VirtualBox 6.0 (updated versions are not compatible with gm as said on their website) on Windows 7 64bit. I have enabled vt-x and am running the latest version of my graphics driver.
I get the error "player.exe has stopped" error when I start the device I have downloaded. (I have also tried starting the device with Virtualbox open)
Can someone please help??
I have tried the solutions posted on similar outdated questions on SO.
Genymotion 3.1.0 no longer supports Windows 7 officially, so it may not work correctly with your Windows in the future.
That being said, you can either try to purge Genymotion and re-install it (see https://support.genymotion.com/hc/en-us/articles/360002815177-How-to-uninstall-Genymotion-Desktop-completely-purge-) or try out Genymotion 3.1.1 beta at https://www.genymotion.com/download-beta/
The beta version is compatible with VirtualBox 6.1.X.

Go to "Software and Updates" > "Additional Drivers", and change to the proprietary driver for your card. Reboot.

Ubuntu Upgrade ( Dual Boot with Windows 7)

I currently have Ubuntu 10.04 installed alongside windows 7 and would like to uninstall it so i can use 12.04. Having looked on the net it seems as if it is rather complicated to uninstall without encountering anuy issues.
Does anyone know of an Idiot Proof way of uninstalling without breaking my laptop. Im not that technical when it comes to dealing with Operating systems
Thanks

There is a section called : Upgrading from Ubuntu 11.10 or Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Make backup copy of data you want to save from your existing Ubuntu to the external drive. 2. Prepare new Ubuntu LiveCD.
Boot from new LiveCD and install new Ubuntu instead of old one - Ubuntu installer should have such option.
Then restore yout data from external drive. This is how I would do this.

Installing Virtual PC in Fedora

I currently use a Windows 7 Home Basic. I need to run a certain application, which is, as of now not supported, i.e. compatible with/by W7HB. I tried downloading Virtual PC with XP mode, which does not support W7HB. Hence, I have installed Fedora as a dual boot, as there exists a separate edition of the application for Linux. As I am new to Linux CLI, I would like to install a version of XP in Fedora, i.e. via Virtual XP, assuming it supports. However, I am not able to find any suitable article for the same. Any suggestions...???
The easiest way to do this is to use VirtualBox.
There are 2 options:
run W7HB as the 'host' and install VirtualBox.Then install a guest operating system such as Fedora or WXP inside virtualbox.
OR
run Fedora as the host and install VirtualBox. Then install a guest operating system such as W7HB or WXP.
Be warned that if you install Windows in any form in a virtual machine you will need a Windows installation key. This may require a phone call to Windows support.
There are other solutions - VMWare, KVM, ... but IMHO VirtualBox is the simplest

Is there a way to install windows server 2003 x64 over a VM?

I have been trying to install that but it produces an error saying that the processor is not compatible with x64. I tried VMWare Player and Microsoft Virtual PC. I also read about disabling virualization but it's not working.
By enabling virtualization from the BIOS setup of the main machine it worked!
