Cannot run Vagrant from the command prompt

I need help with using Vagrant for the Ruby on Rails track. I have downloaded all the programs onto my Windows 64-bit OS and get the following problem when I type "vagrant up" into the command prompt

"default: Warning: Connection timeout. Retrying..."

Eventually it says "Timed out while waiting for the machine to boot."

How can I fix this?

I installed the following:

Ruby installer (Ruby 2.2.2-p95-x64) Development kit Node JS Git A few gems

Download Git for Windows, Then Run Git Bash, From there you can CD to your Vagrant Shared Folder for Example in laravel homestead it is on Homestead Folder Yours Can Be Different . But When your on that folder you just Type Vagrant Up and Vagrant SSH

Hmm if your Problem is Timeout you can just Go to the VIrtual Box Settings and Lowered the Resolution or From you YAML file you can decreased your memory usage .
