Otherwise from VisrtualBox's main menu: go to " Devices" and click " Install Guest Additions CD Image". You have installed Guest Additions to the Windows Guest OS. How to solve copy/paste (clipboard) errors in Oracle VM Virtual Box.īefore you continue to the solution below, make sure that:ġ. If you cannot use Copy-Paste in Oracle VM Vistual Box then follow the guide below to solve your problem. After some research, I finally found the solution that worked for me. But I recently noticed that the copy-paste function doesn’t work in either directions (Host to Guest, Guest to Host or Bidirectional). So I always install the Guest Additions to the Guest Operating System in order to be able to use all features. And of course I often use the copy-paste functions between the Host and the Guest machine. Now, you're in business, and you also remember why you wanted to get rid of XP in the first place.I use Oracle’s VM Virtual Box several years now to test Operating Systems or applications in a virtual environment. It should restart OK, at which point, you can install the VirtualBox additions and reboot it again. You'll have to forcibly power off the VM, restart it, uninstall the VirtualPC gubbins, try to shut it down, watch it freeze again, close it, and reboot it again. The snag is that the VM has the "VirtualPC Integration Components" pre-installed, and they won't work under VirtualBox, meaning that the VM will lock up.
It has to go through the final stages of setup – that's your chance to set it to a UK keyboard etc – and then it will finish loading.
Move VirtualXPVHD into your new VM's folder ("~\VirtualBox VMs\XP Mode"), insert a full stop in the appropriate place ("VirtualXP.VHD"), and when VirtualBox asks whether to create a new virtual HD or use an existing one, choose it. Next, create a new Windows VM – I called mine "XP Mode". In there is a VirtualPC VM image and its virtual hard disk ("VirtualXPVHD"). Once you've unzipped the download file, you'll find another archive ("sources\xpm") inside it. Just in case you thought running Linux had banished Windows Update forever.
