[Solved] No autoresize or seamless mode w/W2K guest

Post by JJR2 »

PUEL v.3.04, Ubuntu Linux 9.04 host, Win2K/SP4 guest, Sony VGN-FJ270 laptop.
I had truecolor graphics in VM until I had to reinstall the OS. It doesn't appear that anything happens when I click on "install guest additions". Now "autoresize guest display", seamless mode, are greyed out, can only get 16-color at 800x600.

Click unmount CD first then click install guest additions.

Okay, thanks. That appears to be working so far.
