Hi, I need to get more screen resolution options in my WIndows 7 guest system. Ideally I would be able to use the screen resolution of my monitor but this is not an option. I end up having to run 800x600 as this is the only option that doesn't cut off part of the screen vertically. My monitor resolution is 1280x720.
Is there something I need to do when creating the guest system? Or do I need to install drivers inside the guest OS?
Get more screen resolution options Windows 7?

You need to install the guest additions (in the guest)
See Chapter 4 in your VirtualBox users manual.

That worked, thanks. Sorry I forgot to RTFM.
