I believe that's normal, but do stand to be corrected. > However, this did not relieve the problems I mention > with respect to the mini drop down menu, the clipboard > and the networking. I didn't expect installing guest additions to solve your networking issue; I already explained how to most likely resolve that. As for the other issues, were there any error messages when installing guest additions? Did you reboot the guest after installing them? Does doing lsmod |grep vbox in the guest show that vbox modules are loaded? I believe the guest additions installer saves a log file in /var/log/vboxadd-install.log. Is there anything which looks like a problem in that file? If your guest additions installed successfully, you rebooted your guest after installation, and the vbox guest modules are loaded in the guest, then I can't think of anything else that would be causing the issues you have, other than the networking issue.
