Cliff, thanks for the suggestions, but I didn't get very far with them. The VBox Extension Pack sounds useful, but the available packs were only for specific versions of VirtualBox, not mine (VB 4.1.18). I tried guest additions, but the manual did not get me through it. With Windows NT booted, I go to Devices in the menu to choose the ISO. Since it is on the Windows NT installation CD-ROM, I click on the optical drive. This only returns me to the Windows desktop and I don't get any VirtualMedia Manager. I've plenty of memory assigned to this virtual system. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ VBox-users-community mailing list VBox-users-community@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/vbox-users-community _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe: mailto:vbox-users-community-requ...@lists.sourceforge.net?subject=unsubscribe
