Hey!
I don't know how I characterise my problem.

I use a Notebook with a 17" screen with windows vista and I want to use some guest systems (windows xp, windows 7, ubuntu 9.04).
On my vista I use screen resolution 1440 * 900 and I want to use a widescreen resolution in my virtual box in the fullscreen mode.

But the function Host + L is "inactive".
Look the screenshot:

Can someone help me?

Greetz,
Julien

And sorry for my english... :-/
