Can't access seamless mode

Post by Barbaridad »

Hi all,

I have just installed Virtualbox with Windows XP on my Macbook with OSX Leopard. It seems to work fine so far, however, I don't seem to be able to enter seamless mode (the option is greyed out). Does anyone have a clue how I can change that? Also (this is probably a related issue), I cannot see the whole Windows desktop at once because it is higher than my Macbook screen (I hope that is understandable). In fact that means I cannot really use Windows inside VB because I can never see bottom and top of the screen at the same time. I always have to leave the VM in order to scroll up or down, and that's quite annoying. :(
Any tips would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks so much,
Barbara

Ok, I have answered my own question. It's working now. I needed to install the Guest Additions, without them, it won't work.
