I installed windows 7 64 bit on Mac OSX 10.14.4.
Virtual Box version is latest - 6.0.14 r133895 (Qt5.6.3)
I've installed the "Guest Additions" also.
The problem I'm facing is it is running on extremely high resolution and it's very difficult to read/work anything. Following are the screenshots of the same.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Windows 7 Extremely High Resolution
Go to the "VirtualBox Preferences" » "Display" » "Scale Factor". Set that to 200%.
When you restart your Win guest, change the Resolution to 1280x1024 from within the guest, in the Display » Screen Resolution, like in the "1Screenshot"...
