I am having issues to start boot2docker in windows 7, virtualbox 4.3.26 (installed together with boot2docker).
Here is the output
Boot2Docker-cli version: v1.6.0

Then it hangs..
My virtualbox config is as follows (sorry, in german):
I tried different things such as deleting the boot2docker-vm, downloading again and starting again and again. Also please note that this seems to be different from similar issues like Boot2Docker Start up fails or docker on windows not working -- in those cases, the error message explicitly mentions that the virtualization is disabled, but I do not see any such error in my output. Unfortunately, I work in a very controlled env. and I cannot use any tools that check whether virtualization is enabled or not.
