Have you tried yourself? You have to install the extension pack (the .vbox-extpack) from upstream: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads That page has a link to 4.0.8; you'll find the 4.0.6 version here: http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.0.6/ Then install it from VirtualBox -> File -> Preferences -> Extensions. -- Ahmad Samir
