Shared folders show up as "not installed"

Host system: WinXP Pro
Guest System: WinXP Pro (different serial #'s)

I had shared folders working; then I restored the guest os & shared folders are
showing up as "not installed".  so I uninstalled the additions, rebooted,
installed the addtions, rebooted; still they show as "not installed".

Any ideas? 

Thanks

Shared folders only is enabled when the virtual machine is running with 
Virtual Machine Additions installed (not when the virtual machine is 
turned off or in a saved state).

Thanks Ben, I guess I wasn't clear with my description.

" so I uninstalled the additions, rebooted, installed the addtions, rebooted;
still they show as "not installed"."

This should have been clarified as "After rebooting, the XP VM machine is booted
up, logged in & functioning/running.  The "Shared Folders" is still marked as
"not installed".

I think I tracked this down - it appears tied to the network cards -- if they
are disabled or in "limited connectivity" mode -- then shared folders don't
work.
