Folks-

I have VirtualBox 4.1.6 setup on an Ubuntu 11.4, 64 bit host.  I have a
32-bit WIndows 7 VM client setup in VirtualBox.
I installed the guest additions.  I had Aero and other basic effects
working.  I put a commercially *paid for* DVD into the player, and as
usual
VirtualBox didn't recognize it.  I changed the settings so that the
guest
could see the drive.  I attempted to play the movie on Media Player. 
The
run balked indicating DVD was encrypted.  I decrypted with AnyDvD.  The
DVD
still does not run, and I have lost Aero support.  When I attempt to put
back the guest additions the automated loaded additions no longer run 
Any
suggestions as to how I can get the additions re-installed if I can't
get
to them via virtual download to the DVD/CD player?  Also, any ideas of
extras I need to carry out in order to get the DVD to play?

{Steve, you don't tell us anything about the DVD that you want to play. 
So I would ask whether or not it is encoded for North America -- and is
being played on a North American version of Windows?  If there is a
region mis-match, SOME (but not quite "all") of the symptoms you
describe can be more-or-less expected.  Hope this helps SOME!}
