can't restore screen after 4.3.8 upgrade

Post by hoohah »

Hello all, I'm on Mac OS 10.9.2 and upgraded to vbox 4.3.8. Now I can see my vbox screen in the dock but can't restore it or make it any larger. What am I doing wrong please?

I for one don't understand your question.

You're not providing enough information about what "restore it or make it any larger" means. If you've just upgraded to 4.3.8 why are you restoring your VM? Did it crash and you're using Time Machine to restore it? By "making it larger" do you mean increasing the size of the VMs hard drive?

<speculation>
I believe he means the VM window. He sees the Dock icon and can't restore it or change it from the icon size to its normal size.

He may have hidden the guest into the dock by hitting cmd-H and doesn't know how to unhide it. more speculation.
