Michael >>> This is just awesome! Many thanks for your help. (Folk here who've used virtualisation for ages may have forgotten the sheer gleeful delight you get the first time you see WinXP running inside a window on your Ubuntu box. :-) ) WinXP has now done its updates. I've got Guest Additions installed; and I've also activated the usb (disabled in Gutsy) as per http://virtualbox.org/wiki/User_FAQ (section labelled USB on Ubuntu/Gutsy). Now to install some antivirus and a firewall. Then good to go on the two apps I have to use Windoze for. (Am I imagining it, or does WinXP actually run *faster* in VirtualBox than I remember it doing on the PC?) Norman >>> I do hope you've got your installation up and running, despite the additional complications you ran into. Many thanks for starting this thread, and giving me a push into actually installing VB. You do initiate some very useful discussions here - don't stop!)
