Must say, I now stick with whatever version of VBox is available in the repositories.

Sorry OE

You are no doubt using VBox under Mint.
Poor old Oxie has an XP Host. Will consider being the other way round one day.

So I had to download these two...
VirtualBox-4.1.20-80170-Win.exe
Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.1.20-80170.vbox-extpack

Been trying/using Pi on my old 2nd PC - did not want to screw-up my existing VBox - did not know what to expect.

will post about it on your other Thread.

Oxie...
