SYMPTOMS

  • Drag-and-drop functionality does not work correctly between a host PC and a guest PC.
  • Folder sharing does not work correctly between a host PC and a guest PC.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs because the Windows NT 4.0 service pack contains updates that overwrite files that the Virtual PC Additions install. As a result, certain features that Virtual PC Additions provide, such as drag-and-drop functionality and folder sharing, do not work correctly after you install a Windows NT 4.0 service pack on the guest PC.

To resolve this issue, reinstall Virtual PC Additions on your guest PC.
