Auto-resize Guest display XP/Vista

Post by NickElliott »

Auto-resize Guest display works perfectly for my XP Guest but doesn't for Vista, any ideas?

I'm running VB 2.1.4

Thanks

Vista has the Guest Additions installed? And the Auto-resize is on in the Machine menu (hit Host+G to toggle it).

Yes, exactly that. When it didn't work the first time I re-installed Guest Additions to make sure but it made no difference.
