    I have Dropbox sucessfully running on my MBPro (OS 10.6.8), and a generally very successful install of PD6 running an XP virtual machine. I installed Dropbox on my XP VM and it seems to be present, logo in the tray but with a red "X" on it. When I hover over the Dropbox logo on the XP system tray is says "Unable to access Dropbox folder." When I open the Dropbox folder on the XP VM, one of the files appears to have synched (which I noted going on right after the initial Dropbox install) and the rest have frozen revolving arrows, as if synching was suspended before it finished. I have not been able to reconnect Dropbox on my VM to the Dropbox website to complete synching. I can, of course, drag files over from Dropbox on the Mac, but I can't conveniently run PD in a full screen mode (since the Dropbox logo at the top is not accessible). So I'd like to have Dropbox installed in the VM as well. No other problems accessing the internet from my VM, browser works fine, Quicken downloads data, etc. Anyone have any suggestions?
