shared folder problems

[dcody]

Hey there - when I try to set up shared folders in settings - the "ok" button does not highlight. I am very new to both linux & virtualbox. Running ubuntu 9.4, v/b 2.2.2, with xp home as a guest. I'm guessing it is an easy fix but don't know what. I am trying to set up printing and access to an external hdd from the guest. Thanks for all your help. Very cool program.

Try Googling this on the Google.com with site:forums.virtualbox.org at the end of the search string.

Also you need to have installed the guest additions.

Thanks - help alot. Had an evil "white space" in my file name. As I said, I am very new. Thanks for you assistance. I would not be able to get this stuff working without the help of the pool of experts. Thanks for your patience. D.
