I've just started using VirtualBox, and have to say how impressed I am 
with it. I am running Ubuntu 7.04 as host with Win2k as guest, but am 
having a couple of problems with shared folders when accessing them from 
the guest.

1. If I open a .doc file in WordPad, most of it appears as an 
unintelligible mess of characters. This is the case even if I create a 
new file, save it to the shared folder, and then reopen it. The files 
open OK on the Ubuntu host (in OpenOffice), or on Windows running 
natively.

2. Often, I am unable to save a file that I have opened from the shared 
folder. Typically, I get a message saying that another application is 
using the file, or that it is read-only when neither of these is the case.

I'd appreciate any help.
