Hi
I'm runnning VB 3.1.2 on Mac OS X Snow Leopard. I have a Win XP Guest OS installed. My main problem is the Guest OS does not take up the screen of my 15" macbook. Any idea how to fill the screen? Windows is currently at the maximum 1024x768 32bit, Default Monitor on VirtualBox Graphics Adapter.
any idea how to fix this?

Hi Richard,
If you've installed Guest Additions and still have a problem with your screen resolution then check out this thread => http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=26050
This particular problem seems to be fixed in VBox 3.1.4.

Hi
yes, I have Guest Additions installed. I have Guest Additions 3.1.4 installed, I am now running VB 3.1.2 as 3.1.4 seems to have a bug which effects USB connectivity on Mac OS host O/S. I wonder can I get he resolution fixed with a 3.1.2/3.1.4 setup like this or what would you guys recommend? Does G.A and V.B. version have to be in sync ?
thanks
Richard

Re: Screen Resolution Win XP
Have you tried changing to Fullscreen Mode under the Machine menu? Or maybe you're not allocating enough RAM to Video Memory?
