No second Screen Display Opens

Post by YoanMena »

Hey Guys!

I just installed virtualbox on my Mac using the latest version of VirtualBox and I have two screens but only one screen window opens up.

I am using Windows XP on Virtualbox and I think all my settings are O.K

Please help me out here.

Does the title bar on the guest say screen one? If it does then you need to enable the second screen in the guests display settings.

It does... it says " Windows XP [Running] : 1"

I did change the number of screens on the settings

Now go Into the guests display settings. You need to tell Windows that you have a second monitor.
