VirtualBox Resizing

I have virtualbox installed and it runs great on my OS X. I do want to resize the window to a particular size. I changed to scale mode and then it allows me to resize. Problem is, I have multiple machines and no matter how hard I try to make them all the same size, one of them refuses. Can someone help with this?
Thanks,

Moved to "Mac OS X hosts".
In answer: install the Guest Additions into each guest, for details see chapter 4 of the user manual. I would turn off scale mode too - that's only needed when you can't change displays sizes in more normal ways.

There is a setting in the VirtualBox GUI to set a predetermined size for guests. That no longer works at least for the Mac version. Some guests will remember the size you dragged the window to across boots, some will not. There is no easy way to size a guest to an exact size. Trust me, I've tried.
Which guest refuses to resize at all?
