You are correct as ever Mr Meowski, I am using 4.3.10 installed from the Oracle repository with the extension pack downloaded and installed.

I run Mint 16 and had the supplied version 4.2 running with guest additions. I thought the extension pack might help but had compatibility issues. So, I installed latest version 4.31 with guest additions and extension pack with no joy. Anybody any suggestions? Could it be that my mouse is usb so not allowing the guest to use it? GeorgeI take it you mean "4.3.10"? Presuming that you are using the official Oracle package (not the OSE version) and have the extension pack installed, you shouldn't have any problems: I have several XP instances running in VBox on Linux hosts with no issues. Did you fully purge all of the old versions of VirtualBox prior to installing the latest version? Is your problem that you can't map physical USB devices to the XP VM properly? That works here as well. Clarify a little bit so we can get to the bottom of it. RegardsI am running 4.3.2.r90405 with no trouble using USB in Xp do you see it in Devices?
I have a Navman satnav connected (thread last week) and showing connection to computer on screen. If I open file manager in Mint I can see the satnav directory structure and files. I closed the FM before trying to connect in XP. I also connected a usb printer and could not see that in XP.
