I am running Mint 13 on my old Laptop and installed XP in virtualbox. This XP version has to be activated within 1 month, the problem only is that I can access the net through XP, while internet on Linux is working perfectly (as proofs this message).

Does anyone know how I can connect my virtual XP with the internet connection of Mint?

Next step Sep 23, 2014

So I got my virtual XP running, installed Guest Additions for a connection with Mint, but what is the next step? How do I activate Guest Additions to open for example an Open Office file in my virtual XP? So, how can I realise a connection between the two machines?

Sharing a folder with Virtualbox Oct 2, 2014

In Virtualbox, select your installed guest; push the configuration button; select "shared folders"; puss the button to add a new shared folder; select a folder in your host and check automount. Use that folder to put the files you want to be used by both operating systems.

I would advise you against setting your home directory or any other important folder as the shared one. Note that Window$ is prone to virus infections that might damage the contents of that folder, and AFAIK ther

You could even loop mount the vdi file and read is contents without Virtualbox: http://www.planetcobalt.net/sdb/vdi.shtml IMO that shoud be used only to read, not to write; so, where it says "mount -o loop /dev/nbd0p1 /mnt" I would use "mount -o loop,ro /dev/nbd0p1 /mnt".

No macro's Oct 3, 2014

Got my virtual XP running, installed Trados 7 and Office 7, everything looks fine except all macros are deactivated. I tried the obvious to activate them, but to no avail. They are deactivated to protect my system (????). No macros, no Trados.

Who has the solution?
