Automatically Change Resolution for Full Screen

Hi,

I have 2x Windows XP Pro guests running on an Ubuntu Linux host.

The hard disk image for the 2nd guest I cloned from the 1st, using VBoxManage clonevdi.

The 1st one seems to work great in that it's in 1024x768 when in a window, then automatically goes to 1280x1024 when I make it full screen.

The 2nd one doesn't seem to do that - it stays in whatever resolution I have it in....so if it's in 1024x768 and I go full screen, I get black round the edges. If I change it to 1280x1024 when in full screen, when I go back to a window I get scroll bars.

Is there a way I can make the 2nd one behave like the 1st, where it automatically adjusts the resolution when going full screen?

Thanks

Ian

Check the menu option for resizing when the VM is running (menu Machine).
