Disappeared menubar and statusbar

Post by utente-vbox »

I have 10 vm, in one of them (win-xp) is no longer visible menubar and statusbar.
I tried to enable it with the command:

Code: Select all

VBoxManage.exe setextradata "xp-ne" GUI/Customizations MenuBar,StatusBar
but to no avail.
if I try with:

Code: Select all

VBoxManage.exe setextradata "xp-ne" GUI/Customizations noMenuBar,noStatusBar
the statusbar and menubar disappear on all vm.
When I give the command again:

Code: Select all

VBoxManage.exe setextradata "xp-ne" GUI/Customizations MenuBar,StatusBar
the statusbar and menubar back on all except the xp vm :oops:

Can you help me?

Probably in scaled mode. Try the (host+C) toggle.

Post the guests *.vbox file as an attachment.

PS you probably need to change the extension to txt to be able to post it.

the *.vbox file is the guests control file. It's located in the same folder that has the guests *.vdi file

Code: Select all

   <ExtraDataItem name="GUI/Scale" value="on"/>
AFAIK This says that you are in scaled mode.
