Strangely, today the mouse integration is gone. I need to click in the guest OS screen to capture any mouse movement. I checked in machine->disable mouse integration and it is greyed out. I am using Win XP with guest additions installed. They cause no problem at all. So I dont think it is the fault ...

with a few restarts to guest OS and Host OS, the auto resize is working. The problem with the color is still there. Do you still need those files?

Yes. I am sure I installed it in Ubuntu using command lines I got from the internet, which involved mounting the addition iso on Ubuntu and command lines: cd /media/cdrom sudo ./VBoxLinuxAdditons-x86.run.

Nothing seems to be happening when I click "Install the guest additions"

how do I do that?

I cant make my virtualbox guest system to go fullscreen. I am running VB on Win 7. When I try making it fullscreen, the window goes fullscreen but the guest OS size remains the same.

I dedicated 15GB of HDD space for Win XP as a guest OS. I am using a Win 7 OS as host OS. After deleting XP, I discovered that my 15GB dedicated space is not back. How can I get this space back?
