VirtualBox Control Panel

If ever the Windows XP icon fails to work, you can get more information about why it's not working by running the menu item:

Applications->System Tools->Sun xVM VirtualBox

Click through any pop-up windows (accepting the defaults) until the main window appears. This window lets you start and stop various operating systems you might have (we only have one). It also allows you to configure aspects of the operating systems, how much memory to allocate, which hardware is accessible etc.

Feel free to play around with it, there's really nothing that you can break that can be fixed. Also, visit the VirtualBox website for more information.

Copying and Pasting into RobotC

When doing the Hello World Program, or any other, you can copy and paste the code into RobotC if you copy using the mouse right click (rather than Ctrl+C). This should save everyone some time.
