Can I just update or do I have to reinstall?

You need to uninstall the old version before installing new one. If you try to run the installer with another version installed, it tells you to uninstall the previous version.

VirtualBox is a great alternative to MS Virtual PC or VMWare products.

This software has destroyed my USB drivers - now none of my USB devices work, i'm annoyed to say the least and facing the prospect of having to reinstall windows vista would like to kill somone.

Mind, i can only blame myself for installing stuff i'm not sure of.
