Hi, I recently installed w2008 x64 over w2008 x86, but suddenly menu bar in VM window disappeared, so I can't install add-ons neither insert ctrl+alt+supr and so on. I was trying to configure that from Settings/General/Advanced tab/Show menu bar/toolbar By trying both options, but it's still the same. What's happening here?
Thanks.
I can't see menu bar in VM window

Re: I can't see menu bar in VM window
Hit Host+C once, see if that helps. If it does, then you entered Scale Mode. You can always access the menu by using the shortcut Host+Home.

Re: I can't see menu bar in VM window
Wow!!! It worked!!!!!! I was getting sick reading topics like mine, but the answer was always about "Mini-toolbar" and checking/unchecking.
Thanks a lot.

Re: I can't see menu bar in VM window
The mini toolbar only appears when you're in full screen or seamless mode. You weren't in either of those, so you can look all you want, it's not there.

Re: I can't see menu bar in VM window
Yes and I can't get into seamless mode without guest additions. And I can't get into guest additions without access to the Devices tab. And I don't have a Devices tab because I don't have guest additions etc. etc. etc.....
My first post was a request for assistance in finding the Devices tab.
