Reinstalled everything & got it working. Of course I had to reactivate WinXP & it's pretty slow just now (host is a 1.8Ghz 512Mb & only allocated 192Mb of memory for the test so that's to be expected) but is working. Now I wonder if installing the 3.2 guest additions is recommended? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ VBox-users-community mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/vbox-users-community
