I am missing something here. I am not sure what Menu Bar you are referring to. When I click on the VirtualBox app icon, I get a popup window labeled 'Sun VirtualBox'. At the top of the popup box are four buttons: New Settings Start Discard.
In the left pane is the XP Virtual Machine I have created. There is no button labeled 'Devices' in the popup window.
At the top of the screen, the bar reads: 'VirtualBox File Machine Help'. Again, nothing saying Devices. Also, nowhere do I see GuestAdditions.iso. Posts: 5 Joined: 18. Dec 2009, 05:56 Primary OS: Mac OS X Leopard VBox Version: PUEL Guest OSses: Windows XP.
Start VirtualBox app. Highlight Windows XP VM in the left side of the popup box. Select from the menu bar on the popup window.
Start Windows XP VM. Menu Buttons in the popup window change to 'New Settings Show Discard'.
Buttons at the top of the screen: 'VirtualBox File Machine Help'. Nothing on the left side of the Menu Bar at the top of the Virtual Box window saying 'Devices'. Log on to Windows XP machine. Still nothing on the left side of the Menu Bar at the top of the Virtual Box window saying 'Devices'.
However, if I click on the at the top left of the Menu Bar, I get a drop down menu with 'Virtual Media Manager' 'Import Appliance' 'Export Appliance'. Click on 'Virtual Media Manager'. A new popup window appears: Virtual Media Manager Menu Buttons at top: New Add Remove Release Refresh Buttons on Bar below this: 'Hard Disks' 'CD/DVD Images' 'Floppy Images' Click on 'CD/DVD Images' blank window.
To start, we’ll need to create an ISO file of macOS High Sierra’s installer, so we can load it in VirtualBox on our Windows machine. Grab your borrowed Mac, head to the Mac App Store, search for Sierra, and click “Download.” When the process is done, the installer will launch—that’s okay, just close it with Command+Q. Mar 25, 2015 - You can install and run Windows 10 in Mac OS X for free using VirtualBox and the Windows 10 Preview from Microsoft. Because this installs.
Click on 'Add' button. A new Popup window appears. The window says it is listing CD/DVD-ROM images (.iso) in a folder labeled VirtualBox in my Library folder. A list of folders appears: Hard Disks Machines VDI Finally, on the left side of the window (although not on the Menu Bar) is the standard OSX list of DEVICES followed by PLACES. Unfortunately, there is no VBoxGuestAdditions.iso listed. There are no.iso files listed in any of the folders.
I hope VDI stands for Virtual Disk Images. Unfortunately, the folder only contains 'Windows XP Pro on Intel MacBook Pro.vdi' - my name for the VM. So, where and how do I find GuestAdditions???

After your screen shot (How do you do that?), I watched more closely on the startup and found the screen you showed.
It appears for 2-3 seconds before morphing into the Menu Bar I described: 'VirtualBox File Machine Help'. After repeated restarts (to click on Devices then 'Install Guest Additions' before the Menu Bar morphed), I finally did it. (BTW, do you know how to keep the Menu Bar from morphing?) when XP started, I opened an Explore window and see the VirtualBox Guest Additions image. Now I have to select from the various files there to run. At the top level, there are two.exe files which seem like they might work: VBoxWindowsAdditions.exe VBoxWindowsAdditions-386.exe What is the difference? (I am running this on a MacBook Pro4,1 with 2.6 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor).
