Hello,
I am running Windows7 as a guest on Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit. The window of the Windows 7 is a bit bigger than a postcard and does not take the full space of my window. Any ideas how to work that it does take my entire screen?

Re: Windows7 guest-postcard size
Taking your entire screen will not happen unless you use fullscreen mode.
First however you should install the Guest Additions. You may then find it convenient to choose a virtual display size (using Win7 display customization panel) slightly smaller than the host display size, that way you still have convenient access to the host. If you don't need it then use fullscreen mode as mentioned.
