I need to install a printer that is connected to the host.
I need to install my Logitech G15 keyboard that has macros.
I need to install the drivers for my video card so I can use two monitors -- is that possible under VBox?
How do I do these things?
So far I have been unable to get a shared folder working. I have followed the instructions in the manual and the help given here but to no avail.
The shared folder shows up in VBox settings in the Shared folders but I can't see it in Windows Explorer like the manual says I should.
My host is running XP SP3 and the guest is running Windows 7 RC.

- The easiest way is to setup a network printer.
The keyboard will not be able to use the macros. VBox keyboard uses the standard 101 keyboard drivers.
You can not install different video drivers in the guest. Depending on your install though it may be possible to get dual monitors. Google dual monitors site:forums.virtualbox.org
