Hmm. Well, they didn't crash it, but like you said... they didn't do anything... Oh well. I have another problem; How do I share files between OSX and the Windows emulator? I really need to get files from a USB stick or my HD to the Windows machine... Anyone know how to do this?
It depends on the emulator, but all three of the major ones let you 'take over' peripheral devices, like USB sticks and all three allow setting up "Shared Folders" between the host and VM.
I know in Fusion, you can select a USB device from the Mac menu or a little icon at the bottom of the window, I'm pretty sure it's the same way for VirtualBox. I've got VB at home and Fusion here at work, so all I can directly check is Fusion.
This is, by the way, why I don't run them in fullscreen mode, since it's difficult to switch back and forth as quickly. I always run the Windows session in a OS X window of it's own.
