insert guest additions cd ..." but it didn't

What does this mean? Did the Guest Additions CD not appear in the guest's C drive? Or did the Guest Additions installer not start?

i can't do full screen

I tried "insert guest additions cd ..." but it didn't.

The first part requires the second.

I tried "insert guest additions cd ..." but it didn't.

"Didn't" what? Didn't install? Didn't work? Didn't see any difference? Didn't get any error?

If do you know different method it can you share with me please.

There is no different method. If you want FullScreen 1) you have to have a supported guest and 2) you have to have the GAs installed.

"Common situation on some Linux distros. Uninstall same first?"

OK. What should I do?

[scottgus1]

Uninstall them?

If you don't know how you will have to ask Kali. I don't know how myself, I'm a Windows guy...
