I loaded guest additions with your second method. For some rease there is no Devices tab on VboxManager or on the XP window when XP is started. I know they used to appear. Loading Guest additions fixed several problems.
One more to go. XP will not work with the windows update site. Says I need SP3 and .net 2.0 but downloading them and trying to install them runs for several hours and still does not complete. I have a 100Mbps Optical link to internet. O well thats an MS problem I think Thanks again for your help.
