Trivial But Interesting
With the latest version of VB (3.1.6 r59351) Full Screen mode works with guest Ubuntu 9.10 (which it didn't previously), but fails to work with Windows XP Pro SP3 (which it did previously). Maybe something to do with my host upgrade to 10.6.3?

Hi Peejay,
For your WinXP SP3 Guest, have you installed the VBox 3.1.6 Guest Additions? If so, have you tried changing (or toggling off/on) to Fullscreen Mode under the VirtualBox VM Machine menu?

Yes, I did both those things, but I have just run the Guest Additions wizard again, and this time, I can get full screen, although it takes quite some time for the change in screen resolution to occur. Thanks for your suggestion.

Re: Trivial But Interesting
I doubt this will be any help, but I have both those OSs as guests except that my XP is at SP2 and works fine. Not at all slow, either.
