Hi guys. I installed virtualbox and put a windows 7 install on it. But I'm having trouble getting these functions to work and I'm not quite sure why.
Host: Windows 7
Guest: Windows 7
VirtualBox version: 4.3.20
Yes, I installed the Guest Additions. VboxTray is running. I've even tried manually restarting it to see if it helped, but it didn't. And yes, Clipboard and Drag-n-Drop are both set to bidirectional.
I did a good bit of searching first, but everything I read just kept saying "install Guest Additions!" or whatever. Anyone have any other suggestions?

Nothing to be sorry about.
The log you posted wasn't complete. Normally you have to shutdown the guest then get the log. Are you sure you installed the GAs? I see you mounted the .iso but did you actually run the guest additions installer?
You can't copy and paste files btw. Only text and image clippings.
