Virtualbox

Since I upgraded VB from version 1.5.2 to 1.5.6 then to 1.6.0 VB will grab the USB HDD. [Which also has my profile for Thunferbird/Firefox located on it so I can use it with Windows and Suse 10.3].

1.) After I close VB it releases the usb HDD but then Thunferbird/Firefox will not start, they crash with a popup that tells me to reboot the Host. When I do, it's ok. I've tried removing the lock in the profile to no avail.

2.0 Also, if after a reboot, I load VB before doing anything else The keyboard work fine. BUT if I use the keyboard for anything else before I start VB All the Charactor keys don't work but the numerical keys do work. The only way to fix this is to reboot the Host. I had hope that 1.6.0 would have fixed this but it didn't.

3.) Messing around with VB setting/Virtual disk manager I hit the "release" button. I couldn't get it back. Is there a way to get it back?

I had to install XP again from scratch.

Thanks for your help if you can,
Ron
