This can be solved by installing the "Guest Additions". This is achieved by selecting the Menu items Device -> Install Guest Additions. This will adjust the resolution within windows when you resize the window and also do things like clock sync'ing. > (c) Copy and Paste between the iMac and the VM system doesn't > work. Similarly, click and drag from one system to the other has no effect. Again, copy and paste will work when you install the guest additions. >From my experience, drag and drop is not supported between host and guest in virtualbox. > (d) Have set up two shared folders (these are already shared > in my Parallels system).

You must navigate to (within the window guest) My Network Places -> Entire Network -> Virtualbox Shared Folders. Or if you're more experienced with mapping network drives. Your shared folder will actually be at the address \\VBOXSRV\<Share Name>. > (e) Like you, I didn't have much joy with USB sticks - didn't > recognise them. When you insert the USB stick. Go into the Devices -> USB Devices menu item and make sure the device you want to attached is ticked. USB sticks are kind of hit and miss for me. Sometimes I have to attach them to the windows guest, remove then, and re-attach them for them to be recognized in windows. I hope that solves some of your issues. -- David -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml> Guidelines - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml> Unsubscribe - <mailto:wamug-unsubscr...@wamug.org.au>
