settings are disabled?

I'm trying to get USB working (among other things), but my "Settings" button is disabled. How do I enable it?
(It used to work)
VirtualBox 2.1.4 on Ubuntu 8.10 host, running Windows XP
Guest Additions v 2.0.2

Was the guest running when you checked?
Settings can only be reached with a stopped guest. Not saved or paused only stopped.

Thanks baf. How dumb of me. I stopped the guest and was able to access settings.
