People..... Please PLEASE!! Stop top posting because it is hard to follow the thread. Always reply by appending your message to the bottom. That said, I myself have been guilty of same. Stephen, Perhaps the reason why the modules are not loaded is because they are not in a standard location ???? Since I am not a Ubuntu user (I use Fedora), I have no idea under which directory path the vbox modules should be placed in /lib/modules/YourKernelVersion/..... so that the modules are found and loaded via modprobe. As far as Copy and Paste betweeen host and guest, I to have NEVER beeen able to make that work, even after installing addons. Perhaps Frank can enlighten us about this issue.
