Windows 7: No seamless mode?

Post by Fernando Hernandez »

I just installed Windows 7 inside my virtual box and I can't seem to use my favorite feature, seamless mode. The option is grayed out, and 'fullscreen' only opens a fullscreen-sized area of black space with the box staying the same size inside of it. I really hate running virtual machines inside the tiny box...is there any reason I can't get these features to work properly? I'm running Kubuntu 9.10 as my host OS.
