Virtual Box install problem on FC10

yum install akmod-VirtualBox-OSE works... well, it installs all the packages
and when I reboot does stuff.

Running VirtualBox I had an error message, so I tried as root and got the
following

--------------------

WARNING: The vboxdrv kernel module is not loaded. Either there is no module
         available for the current kernel (2.6.27.24-170.2.68.fc10.i686.PAE)
or it failed to
         load. Reboot the computer, or insert the kernel module by executing

           '/sbin/modprobe vboxdrv' (as root)

         You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.
Qt WARNING: QGtkStyle cannot be used together with the GTK_Qt engine.
Qt WARNING: Qt: Session management error: None of the authentication
protocols specified are supported

------------

I ran /sbin/modprobe vboxdrv with no error...

when I run VirtualBox from commandline or from the icon I get an error
screen

-----------
Caption:

Failed to create the VirtualBox COM Object

The application will now terminate

  Could not load the settings file '/home/yoram/.VirtualBox/VirtualBox.xml'.

Cannot convert settings from version '1.7-linux'.

The source version is not supported.

  Result Code:

VBOX_E_XML_ERROR (0x80BB000A)

Component:

VirtualBox

Interface:

IVirtualBox {339abca2-f47a-4302-87f5-7bc324e6bbde}

---------

Same thing with or without root.

What's the deal?

Thanks
