[Solved] V 3.0, Copy/Paste not working in Windows 7 guest
Jaunty 64-bit host, Windows 7 32-bit guest
When in the file manager in the Windows guest, if I select and right click to copy a file, when I go to try and paste the file, the paste options are greyed out. Similarly Ctrl-C --> Ctrl-V also doesn't work.
Inside some applications, like OrCAD Capture, copy/paste is not working correctly (at all).
Reverting to VirtualBox V2.2.4 solves the problem.
This problem was the same in Beta2

The same happens on Windows XP and Vista guests.
Until beta 1 the copy/paste file feature did work, now it doesn't. I'm using Debian Testing and VirtualBox 3.0.0 OSE

Yep copy/pasting files is not working for me with XP guest. Running VirtualBox 3.0.0 x64 on Ubuntu 9.04.
Edit: VirtualBox 3 additions installed. You can see the file get cut (greys out) then goes back to normal almost immediately. |

Re: Virtualbox 3.0, Copy/Paste not working in Windows 7 guest
funny thing, using windows 7 rc x64 as host, if any virtualbox 3.0 is running or the guest system was in snapshot mode, the host system could not paste copied files/folders while the guest system still able to copy and paste as normal.
i also experiencing the same problem using ubuntu 8.04 as host, and virtualbox 3.0, and windows 7 rc as guest.

Same problem here - can't copy/paste or cut/paste. Also the ctrl-C + ctrl+V keyboard combination doesn't work. Virtualbox 3.0.0 on Ubuntu 8.04 (x86) and a Windows XP Pro. guest.
Hope this gets fixed soon - I love Virtualbox and use it daily for testing, etc.

Same here.
Linux mint 7 64 bits (ubuntu 9.04 based), VirtualBox 3.0.0, WinXP SP3 as guest.
It's very annoying. Please fix it!

Turning off the shared clipboard seems to solve the problem.
Bummer, I hope they fix this. At least I can use V3 with the multiple CPU support.
I have an I7 and have core's to spare so this was a really nice feature.

Re: Virtualbox 3.0, Copy/Paste not working in Windows 7 guest
Same issue is present in Ubuntu 9.04 32-bit (Host) and Windows XP Professional (Guest), with VBox Add-Ons v3.0.0 installed. Like the others, I noticed this problem after updating to v3.0.0 through synaptic. The Guest OS can copy files, but the option to paste is greyed out. Hope a fix is soon forthcoming.
UPDATE: Tried one of the fixes suggested, to turn of shared clipboard. This worked, but it's a shame to have the shared clipboard disabled.
