Post by YoshiXYZ »

Hello, i have Windows 10 22H2 x64 Host and i have 4096MB of RAM, guest OS is Windows Vista SP2 x86, and after i installed guest additions, i can't change the resolution, i want 1366x768 (my laptop resolution) but i can't change the resolution, stuck at 800x600.
I have VirtualBox 6.1.38 but it doesn't have a solution, please help :wink:

Start the VM from full normal shutdown, not save-state. Run until you see the problem happen, then shut down the VM from within the VM's OS if possible. If not possible, close the Virtualbox window for the VM with the Power Off option set.

Right-click the VM in the main Virtualbox window's VM list, choose Show in Explorer/Finder/File Manager. In the "Logs" subfolder, zip the VM's "vbox.log", and post the zip file, using the forum's Upload Attachment tab. (Configure your host OS to show all extensions so you can find the "vbox.log", not "vbox.log.1", etc.)
