Better screen resolution Win 7 64 bit Guest on MacBook Pro

Post by siebertm »

Hi,

Running Win 7 64 bit version on MacBook Pro with latest OSX. Also using latest Virtualbox version. Tried to increase the screen size/resolution to optimize it for the 1440 x 900 screen of the Mac.

After default installation I could choose from range of (mainly 4:3 aspect) screen resolutions. Searched for a solution and installed the "Guest Additions", only to find my choices reduced to two resolutions that are of the wrong aspect ratio.

So, does anyone have a suggestion?

Thanks in advance.
