virtualbox windows 7 vm not booting with bridged connection

I just updated my ubuntu workstation to 13.10 from 13.04. Before the update, my windows VM with VirtualBox worked just fine. Now, it won't boot up and it lists this as the error:

Failed to open/create the internal network 'HostInterfaceNetworking-eth1' (VERR_INTNET_FLT_IF_NOT_FOUND). Failed to attach the network LUN (VERR_INTNET_FLT_IF_NOT_FOUND).

It works if I change it to connect via NAT, however, I need it to be a bridged connection otherwise I don't have any internet/network access. I've been googling for a while now and can't find any solution that works.

Here is a printout of my ifconfig:

ktate -> ifconfig eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 88:51:fb:42:fe:23
inet addr:192.168.50.198 Bcast:192.168.50.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::8a51:fbff:fe42:fe23/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:134639 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:77408 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:97302877 (97.3 MB) TX bytes:11497520 (11.4 MB) Interrupt:20 Memory:f7c00000-f7c20000

Any help would be much appreciated. Let me know if you need any more info and I'll be happy to reply immediately with it. Thanks!
