Hi,
I installed virutal box, installed fedora on top it , then as you instructed in site I installed Guest Setting. while installation process, I didn't get any single warning from system.
But,
When I started using fedora, i felt its not running properly. Means, when I typed a word after two seconds it appears on screen. Even mouse pointer moving slowely. I feel like working on single core machine.
I used to work on ubuntu on same virtual box. Ubuntu pretty cool and works like linux server. I installed all high end softwares working smooth and no lag but fedora give me trouble.
Here is my machine configuration,
Processor : I3 Quad core
RAM : 4 Gb.
OS (Virtual box) : Windows 7 64 Bit OS.
Please provide solution to fix this issue.
Regards,
Peter

VirtualBox VM 4.3.6 r91406 win.amd64 (Dec 18 2013 17:12:34) release log
00:00:29.248709 Guest Additions information report: Version 4.1.22 r80657 '4.1.22'
The 4.1.* guest additions are too old to support Fedora 20 Install the ones that come with your 4.3.6 version of VirtualBox.

To Install the virtual box settings, it requires additional libraries. I found the below link, saves my time.
