Hi German,

Nope, once I removed the Fedora repo version & installed the one from 
virtualbox.org everything seems fine.  Had to make sure I didn't try to 
use the USB drive in bothe the vm WinXP and the Fedora host machine, and 
to click on the USB device in the Devices tag of the VM, but other than 
that, no problems.  BUT....I am still using F12.

Cheers

Dave
