Hey all,

i try to enabel on WIN7 the 1440 x 900 resolution.
So i googled and found the command:

>> VBoxManage setextradata "WIN7 Enterprise" VBoxInternal2/EfiGopMode 4
Oracle VM VirtualBox Command Line Management Interface Version 3.2.8
(C) 2005-2010 Oracle Corporation
All rights reserved.

But nothing happend to my WIN7 VM, its still on 1024 x 768. Is there something else i have to do?

Thanks for your help!

That's because that's the max resolution you can select with your current Host resolution when in windowed mode. Go to full screen, it will go to 1440 x 900.
