(b) The Window size for the VM system is fixed.
Even if you
make the underlying window bigger, the actual Win XP window stay
the same
size. I was able to change this a bit by changing the Win XP screen
properties.
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). Windows Explorer did not recognise them
at all
(maybe operator error).
Nothing actually appears when you "share" a folder. 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.
