Hello, I am not able to display the shared folders on the virtual machine. Simply does not recognize. Does anyone have any idea what can be?
Note: Extension installed correctly.

Re: Share Folders!
Post the guests log file ( as an attachment ). Right click on the guest in the Main Manager then click show log. Save and post as an attachment. Compress if it is too large to post.

Re: Share Folders!
You need to install the guest additions ( in the guest )
See Chapter 4 Guest Additions in your VirtualBox users manual.

I believe that already installed additional guests (as attached image). When I click on devices "insert Additions CD image for Guest" nothing happens. But nothing appears to "additions" or the virtual machine control panel or on the real machine.

Re: Share Folders!
It's the Guest Additions you need to install - inside the guest. Not the host extension pack. See chapter 4 of the user manual.
Showing us a picture of the Guest Additions CD mounted in the virtual drive does not mean that the GAs were installed. In fact this tends me to believe they were not.
Please post a new log file (zipped) when you think the situation has changed. That will demonstrate if the GA drivers were actually installed.

Re: Share Folders!
Thanks for your help friend.
The automatic start of the CD was down, I had to manually start the installer. With that it worked.
The following log file for verification.

Re: Share Folders!
Yes, the log verifies that the 5.0.8 GAs are now installed in that VM.
p.s. Moving this topic to "Windows Guests".
