[Solved] Unable to resize screen

[robinwkurtz]

Hello! Thanks in advanced for your help.

I don't seem to be able to resize my VMs screen size. Any ideas?
I'm unable to post a screen shot yet... however I am experiencing; the resize options are all greyed out. As well as "Auto-resize Guest Display" is checked and disabled... I would assume I want to not have this checked?
In the settings I've toggled the "Enable 3D Acceleration" as seen in another thread. I've also added video memory and base memory.

Base Memory: 9306 MB
3 CPUs
Video Memory: 256 MB

I've also attached the Vbox.log.1

Thanks!

You need to install the Guest Additions in your guest. User Manual, ch. 4. Guest Additions. You should also have a searchable PDF included with your installation (Help » Contents). Take advantage of that fact, and use it to search the PDF for the terms that interest you.

Thank you, this did the trick.

I don't recall having to do this in previous uses of VitualBox so I assumed it was more of a bug then a missing step/feature on my part.

Thanks again,

No, you always had to do that with Windows guests. Anyways, glad you got it going...
