Hi,
I'm not sure where to put this question so I put it in the general area.
I've installed vbox and have a total noob question. I've only installed vbox b/c I have some applications that will not/can not run under Ubuntu. So I was excited to find vbox thinking I'd be all set. But it's looking like I can't cut-n-paste from Ubuntu into the apps I'm running under vbox/windows XP.
I'm assuming this is b/c they're two "seperate/virtual" computers running in the same space. Is that a correct assumption? Can anyone figure out how I might be able to accomplish this?
Thank you,
j

Have you installed the guest additions?
This should solve your problem.

After you start up your Windows VM, Click on Devices -> Install Guest Additions...
