Have you checked "CD-ROM/DVD mount" in the settings of Guest OS?

The problem turned out to be that the version acquired from openSuSE repository doesn't appears to be unable to install Guest Additions in the automatic method described in the User Guide. (As I said in my original query, VB error messages are not necessarily connected with reality, and should be taken with a grain of salt). Falling back on the manual method, which the User Guide offers as optional, not as a workaround for bugs, does the job very neatly. My XP guest is now equipped with the Additions, and I am now equipped with means to fight back against airheaded web designers that learned the Micro$oft way to build websites. -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
