Hi,
This sounds like "Windows" was not the selection made when creating the
machine. I'm not sure how to change this after creating the VM (possibly by
editing the configuration file manually), however you can install the
Additions manually by mounting the ISO image located at:
<drive>:\Program Files\Microsoft Virtual PC\Virtual Machine
Additions\VMAdditions.iso
You can mount an image by right-clicking the CD icon in the bottom part of
the running virtual machine
