Screen size

I am setting up a new laptop. OS Windows 8.

So I got VB up and running. I got XP installed.

When running, the XP screen size is about 25% of the host computer's screen size. I can drag the corner to enlarge the VB screen. However, though the VB screen enlarges the XP screen remains the same size. Too small to read anything.

When I had this set up on my Vista machine there was no problem. I could stretch the XP window with the VB box. They were together as one screen.

How do I get the XP screen larger? It seems to be fixed at this 25% of the host computer's screen.
