hey there i am trying to use vbox to launch up a windows guest but no matter which guest i try or how i try vbox refuses to start up any type of guest with error message
Code: 
VirtualBox can't operate in VMX root mode. Please close all other virtualization programs. (VERR_VMX_IN_VMX_ROOT_MODE).

Result Code:
NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: 
ConsoleWrap
Interface: 
IConsole {872da645-4a9b-1727-bee2-5585105b9eed}
even though there is no other virtualization program running and I have set up vbox properly
added the user that is trying to launch vbox to the vboxusers group
added vboxdrv_load="YES" line to /boot/loader.conf
made sure that the kmod vmm isn't loaded or in /etc/rc.conf
any help will be really appreciated, thanks

Did you also load the module or rebooted the system? It's not dynamic, the modules in /boot/loader.conf are only loaded when the system boots.

yes i did rebooted after adding it, the issue was vmm loading up as well due to the vm_dir line being in /etc/rc.conf
