I have got windows 7 and windows 8 on my laptop, and install genymotion on both OS's. On Windows 7, it run fine. On Windows 8, the emulator looks like its starting fine and opens, but then i get a message saying "Unable to connect to your virtual device. Genymotion will now stop. Check your VirtualBox network connections". Pressing Ok shuts down the emulator.
I have opened Oracle VirtualBox and opens Preferences > Network and have both tabs setup with the same ip addresses on both OS's. Settings below.
I can open the image directly from Oracle VirtualBox, so there must be something funny.
Any help much appreciated
