Full Screen, not just the frame

Post by rebolt »

Hi.
I very new and not very clever on computers, ask me anything about playing the bass though.
But I have just installed my version of windows xp, in my virtualbox on my MAC OS etc...
But when i open windows the window is very small, and can´t figure out to get in full screen. If I drag the corner, which i normally do, the frame gets bigger but the the actully screen.
Please help. It is possibly something stupid or a button I have'nt seen, but i'm lost...
Please help

Also, after installing the additions, press "HostKey + F" to go to full screen
Dunno what is the host key on OSX, try looking at File-> Preferences menu of VirtualBox.
