Using VB 6.0.4 on a Win host with 3 screens

Post by bmwsandman »

I have three screens on my win10 host (on a dell 7490). I can't get VB to go full screen on the second host screen unless i close the laptop to take away the 3rd screen. I can then reopen the laptop screen and everything will be fine. VB will stay full screen on host screen 2. I have vb configured to only use 1 screen. changing the View menu/Virtual Screen option doesn't seem to help.

Which option would that be?

While in full-screen, press HostKey+Home for the popup menu. View Screen N » Use Host Screen M. Do that with all your 3 screens connected. VirtualBox will remember that setting for the next time...
