Guest additions
Good evening, I have virtualbox running fine on my Mac which I set up a few years back. I am trying to set it up on my sons iMac now, I have installed windows 10 but can't get full screen. I've gone to the device tab on the top, then insert guest additions CD image but nothing happens?

Re: Guest additions
You should find that the Guest Additions ISO has been mounted (inserted) in the virtual CD drive (probably drive D: on your Windows 10 guest). If autorun is disabled then nothing will happen. Have a look in Windows Explorer and see if the disk is present, if so just run the VBoxWindowsAdditions.exe file.WelshMatt983 wrote:I've gone to the device tab on the top, then insert guest additions CD image but nothing happens
If the ISO isn't mounting at all then we probably need to take a look at the guest configuration (.vbox file) and the log file (VBox.log). Zip them up and post them here.

My crystal ball is currently broken. If you want assistance you are going to have to give me all of the necessary information.
Please don't ask me to do your homework for you, I have more than enough of my own things to do.
