Fullscreen Mode with 2 Displays
Posted: 1. Feb 2013, 12:10
Hello,
I have come across a problem with Virtualbox 4.2.6. My host machine in running Windows XP and has two monitors. My Guest machine is also running Windows XP with two monitors. Whenever I go to "Fullscreen" mode, the virtual machine instance crashes (is shows "Aborted" in the VirtualBox control console). I have the virtual machine guest addition installed.
This is not a major problem to me, because I have reverted to using VirtualBox 4.1.16 which works perfectly well. I only "upgraded" because I thought that a newer version would be better.
I am mentioning this in case anyone is interested in fixing. As I say, I am not too concerned because I have a good work around, but the VirtualBox developers may be interested to know that the problem exists. If anyone wants further details, fee free to ask.
AC.
