Windows 2000 color and resolution

Post by TheGateKeeper »

When I use Windows 2000 under Virtual Box, I can only set the the color to 16-colors and the resolution to up to 800x600 when my monitor supports up to 1600x900. Is there anyway to change this?

Edit: I figured this out. Don't bother replying.

Have you installed the guest additions (in the guest)?

No. How do I do so?

Edit: Never mind, I found out how.

It doesn't tell you that the iso is 10 megs. I about freaked out when it didn't allow me to choose a folder to download into. I have about a gig free on primary drive, if that.

Are you trying to download the GA ISO into the guest?
