I posted this as a new topic since I was trying to use my static filled Editing program without the benefit of a trackball/M570 Logi mouse and only a laptop trackpad reversed physically to my non-dominant hand due to its being stuck on a shelf with wires out of all the ports.
I have "other" issues with Oracle Virtualbox, but while trying to still operate and use the existing Windows 7 32bit VM I have created, I ran into the problem described in other thread:
I researched the User Manual and came upon the chapter titled:
Ok--I thought I followed the Host + C and other selections on display.1.8.5 Resizing the Machine’s Window
I don't see in any of the Menu choices of Host or Guest VM the option to change "display resolution".2. If you have the Guest Additions installed and they support automatic resizing, the Guest
Additions will automatically adjust the screen resolution of the guest OS. For example, if
you are running a Windows guest with a resolution of 1024x768 pixels and you then resize
the VM window to make it 100 pixels wider, the Guest Additions will change the Windows
display resolution to 1124x768.
Now I'm stuck into a screen WITHOUT SCROLL BARS that is not showing the entire program image that I needed to view.
I noticed that having the new (new to me that is!) Guest Additions, is why I suddenly got a window with Scroll bars as:
I wanted the program and entire Windows 7 Machine Window to appear without scroll bars as without a functioning mouse, its really difficult to go up and down up and down from the menu bar to using the items on the Editing Aduio program.3. Otherwise, if the window is bigger than the VM’s screen, the screen will be centered. If it
is smaller, then scroll bars will be added to the machine window.
I don't have screen shots of that as never figured out how to "share" items between the Virtual Machine and Host Machine.
I just read and re-read those chapters of the User Manual.
YES I can follow those instructions.
NO I'm not confident I can do that without destroying more of the VM and creating new issues to solve here.
So I can't show Virtual Machine screenshots---will see if any are useable from my Host Computer, if so I'll post them below to show comparisons.
Here are what screenshots I happened to take while doing my experiments with screen size to get rid of the scroll bars.....
Now I can't return back to whatever it was I had working earlier--even with Guest Additions operating....
See next post here as I can't load more than 3 attachments.....
and it will have the required two logs attached as well within the 3 attachment limit...sorry to make you have to view two posts to get all the information...
So to get to a solution of my problem:
I think I need something that changes my Guest Windows7 screen resolution so when I changed the window and scaled it, I can still see the program without the very large type and larger icons that really should not have happened if I followed the choices properly. And without the side scroll bars since I don't have my handy-dandy "scroll wheel" operating anymore to allow me to rapidly go up and down all four panes of the program.
