ubuntu 7.10 on dell inspiron b130 laptop WinXP as guest

had multiple problems occur so I just reloaded Ubuntu and started over.

Now with guest additions installed I have problems that didn't happen on the old installation

1 I can't get native resolution of 1280x800 to work
2 seamless mode (host+L) is greyed out
3 auto resize was greyed out but on reinstalling, isn't greyed out, but it still won't go to 1280X800
4 nothing on usb shows up, BUT the wireless usb mouse works
5 shared folders do not show up on XP

tried several fixes, this one (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=530617)posted by dark_harmonics broke it all together
