Virtual box OSE problem

I have a virtualbox OSE problem I accessed it created windows on it and saved it and when I try to start the windows xp test installation It tells me the following :
VirtualBox kernel driver not installed. The vboxdrv kernel module was either not loaded or /dev/vboxdrv was not created for some reason. Please install the virtualbox-ose-modules package for your kernel, e.g. virtualbox-ose-modules-generic..
VBox status code: -1908 (VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED).


Result Code:
0x80004005
Component:
Console
Interface:
IConsole {1dea5c4b-0753-4193-b909-22330f64ec45}
Can someone tell me how to counter this?
Thank you
Hardy Dude

Try running this command and post back any output
Code:
sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

Run this
Code:
sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv status
If it reports that the kernel module is loaded, run this
Code:
sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv restart
otherwise run this
Code:
sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv start
Post any error messages

[edit]
Apparently setup is a valid option so I don't know what version you are running

I tried the first one
IT said
* VirtualBox kernel module is not loaded.
Then I tried the third one it said:
* Starting VirtualBox kernel module vboxdrv
* No suitable module for running kernel found.
