Virtualbox Error

When i try to create a virtual machine using the Windows 7 Enterprise Evaluation iso file, everything goes as planned untill i click on the start button. when i click on it i get two error messages.

the first:

Code:
Failed to open a session for the virtual machine Windows 7.
The virtual machine 'Windows 7' has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1.
the second:

Code:
Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)

The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is either not loaded or there is a permission problem with /dev/vboxdrv. Please reinstall the kernel module by executing

'/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup'

as root. Users of Ubuntu, Fedora or Mandriva should install the DKMS package first. This package keeps track of Linux kernel changes and recompiles the vboxdrv kernel module if necessary.
i have installed the DKMS package, but when i try to run the command stated in the error message, i get another error message in the terminal:

Code:
bash: /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup: No such file or directory
im assuming i have to install the driver that is specified (vboxdrv) but i do not know where to find it.

any ideas?
