Resolution Problem

Post by Ferhat20th »

My Virtual Box installed on Mac with Windows 95 has a great 1600x1200 resolution. Unfortunately, the resolution shrinks to 800x600 when playing

My question is, is there a way to increase the resolution to 1600x1200 and play a game?

by the Way VirtualBox is great and nice

That means that the game itself asks for 800x600. The only way to make the window bigger would be to use scaling (see View menu).

Note: you posted this in the MacOS guests forum. MacOS is your host, not your guest. The guest is Win95. I'll move the topic to "Windows Guests" since the question doesn't really concern the host.
