Lost my Screen
Lost my Screen
New to Oracle VB, just install it on a Windows10 PRO host to be able to use XP-PRO 32bit guest. So all was good and trying to find my way around and I don't know what I did on the screen but now I only see my host desktop screen and no the VB. I know VB is running because at the top of the screen I see the VB menus(File, Machine, etc.) and at the bottom right of the screen I see all the little icons. How can I get the VB screen visible again? Thanks, Nicolas
Re: Lost my Screen
I re installed VB and now all is good, much faster than trying to fix the problem

Re: Lost my Screen
Hi. From what you say, you may had accidentally enabled Seamless mode. It is a very cool mode in which you see only the Taskbar of the VM on you host desktop, and of course the window of any application you may open in your guest OS. Under Windows host, the keys to do that are CTRL+ALT+L. Of course, reinstalling VBox wouldn't "fix the problem", but it could have been that.

Thanks for your time mate, I will give a try to CTRL+ALT+L. so just to learn.
