[Solved] Custom resolution help

[pgad003]

Hi everyone,

I have ubuntu 9.04 running on my thinkpad r61 laptop as a base system and using virtual box i have installed xp as a guest system. However because my laptop is wide screen, i need a custom resolution of 1280x800 on my xp (guest) machine. I have tried software like power strip installed on xp however it soon crashes with error. So my step would be to adjust the display adapter in virtual box itself. If any one is familiar with this please help

Thanks in advance.

Sure thing. Install the guest additions and then you can use the mouse drag to resize the screen of the host+f toggle for full screen
