[Solved] How to increase screen res in windows guest

I have vBox 2.1.2 installed on my Fedora Core 9 host with a Windows XP Guest. The max resolution goes up to 1152*864. Is there a way I can bring that to 1280*1024? I'm running it within a VNC session which is running at that res so I'd like it to match so I can just go in full screen mode in vbox and vnc and have it use up all my screen.

What if you 'fullscreen' the Guest?

Actually know what, did not realize that if I resize the window it changes the res on the fly, and full screen does also change the res. I thought it was not doing that but I was just getting confused. My RDP within the VM is what was not resizing. Just had to go full screen then RDP back into the server I was in, and I was good to go.
