[SOLVED]Can't start Virtual Machine

Question

I installed virtual box and virtualbox-modules via pacman and launched 'sudo vboxbuild' but now wyen I try to start a virtual machine it gives me this error:
"Failed to open a session for the virtual machine Ubuntu Server 11.10.
Failed to open/create the internal network 'HostInterfaceNetworking-wlan0' (VERR_SUPDRV_COMPONENT_NOT_FOUND).
Failed to attach the network LUN (VERR_SUPDRV_COMPONENT_NOT_FOUND).
One of the kernel modules was not successfully loaded. Make sure that no kernel modules from an older version of VirtualBox exist. Then try to recompile and reload the kernel modules by executing '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup' as root (VERR_SUPDRV_COMPONENT_NOT_FOUND).
Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: Console
Interface: IConsole {1968b7d3-e3bf-4ceb-99e0-cb7c913317bb}"
I tried to launch '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup' but it says that this directory or file does not exist.

I have already installed them.
# modprobe vboxdrv
# modprobe vboxnetflt
and it should just work
