No.  I thought that by setting my CD/DVD to the VBoxAdditions.iso in the 
setup menu and pressing the large friendly "Install Additions" button in 
the pull-down menu under Devices, I would be able to avoid that.

However, now that I have typed in the above command, I see a "file not 
found" result on my terminal screen ... but, I know it is in the 
installed file base in the XP Host.  Oh, and the "Seamless mode" option 
is also grayed out.

I hate screwing up stuff that is working fine by upgrading it.

Thanks for the advice.  Any thoughts on where to go from here ?
