Re: Trouble with ROS on VirtualBox (OS X host)

I had installed from the vbox image, but decided to install from scratch
from the ROS boot iso.  It works a lot better now.  Screen is good, but
performance is average.  Also it hangs often :(

I can't seem to open the ReactOS Explorer.  It did open ONCE, but not
any more.  When it did open I couldn't find any software to install. 
Nothing seemed to happen.

Any ideas ??

Thanks, Brendan.
