Hey. I have an issue regarding my Usb port and shared folders. I can't seem to get it to work. I am using a Mac book pro, and have windows 7 running in Virtual Box. I have activated both Usb ports and shared folders. Can anyone help me detect the problem.

Thanks. Mikkel.

Post the guests log file ( as an attachment )

i´m sorry. i am a noob at this computer. When you say "guest log file" i dont know what you mean.

you mean this.?

Right click on the guest and then left click on show log. Save and post as an attachment.

Note: the VBox users manual has this information too.

ok. got it. new issue. The forum tells me "The extension is not allowed" when i try to upload.

It should be a normal text file but compress it first and then upload it.

Here you go. Thanks.

You need to install the extension pack if you want to use USB.
You also need to install the guest additions if you want to use shared folders or to have better resolution in the guest.

thanks for your help..

still having trouble. i have version 4.3.24.
When i use the download links on on VB homepage. I can choose to downgrade my version, or i can reinstall. As i have understood, when you reinstall VB it will automatically upgrade your version. but when i do this i get this message.

The extension pack *must* match the version you have installed.

yes i understand that. when i use this link you give me.
it tells me that i am downgrading. i assume its the one in the top. i cannot post the link, because i have not been a member for a day yet.

Post the following from the hosts terminal

VBoxManage -v
VBoxManage list extpacks

again i need to ask you where to find the information you seek. A lot of my information is on another language, so it is difficult for me to find.

thanks.
