Yes, it will work. I made the howto because of this thread. There is a new version. 4.1.10. Use that instead of the 4.1.8 I mention. I'd forgotten how difficult it was on openSUSE.
You need 1. The VirtualBox rpm from here: http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.1.10/VirtualBox-4.1-4.1.10_76795...
2. The extension pack from here: http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.1.10/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extens...
3. The iso for the guest additions: http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox Then click virtualbox/4.1.10 VBoxGuestAdditions_4.1.10.iso is 8th. on the list. rt-click that, save link as and save it in your /home/bob/.VirtualBox folder.
As you're finding out, Linux is not for mac users! HTH L x for the buttons Yes. It will install fine. Just remember NOT to use the openSUSE versions, but the versions you downloaded.
As for the buttons, Carlos just suggested changing your theme. Had a go at that yet? L x
Not sure where to find the theme. Looked around but haven't found it. Installed VBox with the link you gave me (above) and downloaded the extension pack and the guest iso but haven't installed those yet. Lost some emails and printer too, so may repeat questions again if the emails are gone. Like to get the theme fixed so those buttons come back.

Readint the help menus still leaves me confused re: the folder icon for the guest iso
The folder icon is to the right of the field which is displayed at the first input screen after you have started the guest for the first time. It will stay there forever until you OK it _OR_ choose the folder icon just beside it and to its right. After you click the folder icon, a file manager opens and you can browse to Downloads and click your win 7 iso.
and the setup for that. Hope it will run today. :-) Tks Bob
Yes. It will run today:-) L x
Glitch. It won't let me install the virtual HD. Every time I try it with different locations it say it already exists. Can't get beyond that point. Hit cancel and it is back to new.
