How to make a VM with supported guest OS start in Seamless Mode?

Post by Samuel the Techno Kid »

So, I already know about Seamless Mode.

But, how do I run a VM already in seamless mode?

Could you help me?

My Windows 7 VM that I use for work runs in seamless. I shut it down while it is in seamless. Then when I start it again it boots in a normal window until the Guest Additions engage, then it goes to seamless automatically.

Do you see your VM behaving differently?

I just tried and it worked! Thanks for the help!

Also, My VM has Windows XP Professional x64 Edition SP2, not that it matters.
