rlocone Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Hello All, I've had this problem from DAY ONE with virtual box. The copying/pasting functions don't work. Tried everything I can think of. Changed the clipboard options made sure that the intergration app was installed correctly. Anyone have any idea on how to get this working? I'd really appreicate it. Host: win7, Guest: winxp Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rlocone Posted May 9, 2010 Author Share Posted May 9, 2010 Read this forum from virtualbox.org http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/3303 From the looks of the bug report, issue is still unresolved in the latest version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlocone Posted May 9, 2010 Author Share Posted May 9, 2010 Had a lil time to play around & see what I can figure out. For starters I was able to view the clipboard with the clipboard viewer. The contents are getting to & from the clipboard host to guest just fine. The keyboard shortcuts Cntrl - V, X & T DON'T WORK. But if I use the mouse & right click the commands are all there. They aren't grayed out. Even cutting / copying /pasting from WITHIN the guest OS don't work either. I made sure that the addons were installed and working.
