I'm going to have to update the OP, it seems.

nichos, you need to install the build-essential package from the Synaptic Package Manager. Once that's installed, then VirtualBox Guest Additions will install correctly.

Ya Ya man do the OP (?) again.

Had to "search" for it, came up, fiddled with it, poking in the dark & it deed say "now installed", but nothing happens, even redeed again what mr "DIZ" said twice.

It said "unable to build the kernel module"

What did he mean with this:

".....have to cd to the directory first(usually "cd /media/cdrom0")......."

Will do it all again from scratch & hoping.

Did you install the build-essential package?

yes just now, you posted while I was editing.

See my 09:20 post above yours.

Nothing happening though, nick

error10

Hm, maybe build-essential didn't bring in the kernel headers (it should have). Try installing them.

If that doesn't work I'll fire up a fresh copy of Ubuntu on my own VirtualBox and figure it out later tonight.

Doesn't seem to work.

Yeah, you should do what it says, and run sudo apt-get update.

I'll play with Ubuntu later tonight and see what I come up with.

But my friend the scrnshot in post #58 is the result of my input "sudo apt-get update" & clicked Enter, saying "failed to fetch....................."

I want to delete everything & start from scratch with VBox & install Ubuntu, BUT am so confused now I can't remember how I did it in the first place.
