Trouble in setting my screen resolution with w7ultimate

Post by songryong »

Hi,

I have Vista Home PremiumX64 as PrimaryOS, XP and Windows 7 Ultimate as Guess OS.

The problem is after i install everything using W7Ulitimate i cant set-up my screen resolution properly ( i have 15.6 screen ) .

With my XP GuessOS my screen resolution is 1360x768
With my Primary i have 1366x678

Then the option for the resolution on W7ultimate are as follows:

800x600
1024x768 *** my current screen resolution ( but the width is not enough, got black screen on both sides ) but with the heights it fits well.
1152x864
1280x024
1600x1200

Is there something i miss on my set-up?

I appreciate the help :wink:

Install the guest additions and then adjust using the mouse drag or the host hot keys.
