How to adjust window 7 display

[nizzok]

Hi all,

I'm running win 7 guest on a ubuntu 9.10 host, on a Lenovo g450 (celeron) laptop. I've added the quest partitions, but the windows 7 screen is always bigger than the laptop screen, and I have to annoyingly scroll to look at various windows. Does anyone have a solution on how to constrain the display to the screen? I've tried playing with the resolution in the graphics properties, but no dice.

thanks in advance.

Do you have Guest Additions installed?

Hi,

Yes, I have. See above. The issue is not, not being able to resize at all, but the fact that the display is always larger than my laptop screen. I think it might have to do with how the graphics card interprets the monitor, because it assigns it as a generic monitor with no options to change it.

Ok, sorry. I did not know what "quest partitions" were.
