It looks small!

[ilovelife]

Hello,
I succeeded finally and installed Windows Xp on my mac. The thing is it opens in a small window that I can't get to resize and the mouse works differently so every time you go pass the edge of the windows window you loose sight of the mouse, really convenient!! Is it normal or is there anything we can do about it?
Thanks
Linda

It's normal for people who haven't read the manual and installed the Guest Additions. The fix is to install the Guest Additions which adds options like resizing the window and better control of the mouse.

I confess I didn't read all the instructions. Actually I am not sure where is the information I need
Can you help me?

Windows is just click on the devices tab and select install guest additions.
Then you follow the bouncing ball. If they do not auto start open the file manager and start them from there.
If you want 3D/2D the guest additions MUST be install while the Windows guest is in safe mode.

Start at Page 50 in the manual for all the details.

Basically, while you have the Windows XP window open and in the foreground, choose Devices in the menu at the top of the screen and select Install Guest Additions. Then just answer Yes to all the prompts.
