You have Windows as Host, did you compile VB yourself? If you grabbed it from the website, then you don't have the OSE version, but the PUEL. Read the manual, it's all explained there.
Read the Forum Posting Guide before opening a topic.
VirtualBox FAQ: Check this before asking questions.
Online User Manual: A must read if you want to know what we're talking about.

See the Tutorials and FAQ section at the top of the Forum for more guides.
Try searching the forums first with Google and add the site filter for this forum.
E.g. install guest additions site:forums.virtualbox.org
