Some unexpected faeture

Hello,

I use Virtualbox because it is a very reactive soft.

But i am two strangbug :

first, when virtualbox have running (a win XP guest in my case) the host cannot go to hibernate. I read in bug tracker a workarround : desactivate AMD-V hardward virtualisation. It's working, ansd i realy see no evidence between with or without. So it's ok, but strange. (Motherboard Asus, core 2 duo windows XP SP3 host). This append even after the guest and the virtualbos host stooped. So something is broken in hibernat host.

Second, a little more unpleasure. I never see clipboard working exept, in the past, when a patch to vboxservice was release. I don't remember the release number. I try on new fresh install host and guest, in full english (not my case as you can see): not working, nothing. I read log, see in the good biderctionnal cliboad setting etc ... nothing ! Actualy in 2.0.2 and try in 1.66 : same as nothing ! So, what is the windows host and guest services need for clipboard working, perhaps i desactive it ?

Thanks.

Shared Clipboard is a feature that is available after you have the Guest Additions installed. Read the manual for how to install it.

of course it is installed. do you realy thinks i don't read the manual ? So if i post here, this is not for heard "read the manual".
I say that i read log, read bug tracker, use from a long time, see the vboxservices patch in a old release about this clipboard, so you tel me "read the manual" ? It's funny.
