Guest Additions pop-up notice

Post by markfilipak2 »

Hello,

I just upgraded from v 5.0.4 to v 5.0.8.
I upgraded by running the installer in my Win7 Host.
Then I installed the Extensions (previously downloaded) by double-clicking on the '.vbox-extpack' file.
On first launch of my Linux Mint 17 Guest, a notice popped up about the guest additions.
I tried to take a screen shot of the notice, but when I used the Guest's menu (I run in seamless mode), the pop-up disappeared.
I have tried several times to get the pop-up to reappear so I can take a screen shot of it, but have been unsuccessful.
I've tried while running my Guest from inside the VirtualBox Manager, and while running my Guest as a stand-alone window.

Can anyone suggest how I can provoke the pop-up?

Thank You.
