I am having an issue getting my Virtual Box display to be full screen. My image is 32 bit windows 7 system. Does anyone have any ideas to help me out?
I like it when the VB image is the entire screen. My hosting PC is windows 10 64 bit.

Re: Display
Install Guest Additions in the VM, see section 4 in the manual.
Re: Display
I do have Guest Additions on. Now I have full display feature although there is still 2 Task Bars visible, 1-for the virtual box machine and 1- for the host PC. This is what I am trying to get rid of. I do know its possible because on a Windows 10 Machine that I have with a Windows 10 VB I have it. Cannot get this one figured out?

Re: Display
It appears you are running Seamless. This mode makes the VM screen the size of the host's desktop minus the host's taskbar, then makes the VM OS's desktop transparent, but it does display the VM OS's taskbar too.
Virtualbox does not have a way to erase the VM OS's taskbar. You would have to configure the OS to hide its own taskbar. Short of major changes in the VM OS, here is a suggestion: move the VM OS's taskbar to the top or side, then set it to auto-hide.
