How do i get proper full screen ?

Post by carlyn101 »

Hi, I installed Ubuntu on a win 7 machine running VB of course. When I switch to full screen its not really....... it only expands some of the way ? Also how do i search for all posts I have made or all posts another user has made ? That will really help because i asked most other questions already but am still waiting for an email back to get my old password !!!

First, to get full screen you must install the guest additions (in the guest) see user manual for details.

Next you say your old password, If you are using a different password your old entries will be under that previous name you used, more that likely. Click on the members tab (top right) and search for your old user name.

You already have the guest additions. You need to read the users manual on how to install them.

Click help in the main manager or on the top bar of the guest
