And when I uncheck the box at the top that says "Automatically manage paging file size for all drives" and then select "Custom size" and change "Initial size" to 1000 MB and "Maximum size" to 1600 I get this... I CAN'T ADD ANOTHER IMAGE SO PLEASE SEE NEXT POST

How much free space do you have on the guests hard drive?

If I open VBox and click Settings > Storage and then under Controller: IDE > VBoxGuestAdditions.iso - it says the size is 61.65 MB.
If I open VBox and click Settings > Storage, and then under Controller: SATA > Windows 7.vdi - it says the Virtual Size is 10.77 GB and the Actual Size is 10.77 GB.
Is that where I'm supposed to look?

Nope what does the guest say it has. Properties of the c drive
Since you already know you are out of disk space we need to close this topic anyway as that will fix these warnings.

How will closing this thread fix those warnings when I don't know yet how to fix it?
If by "guest" you mean I should check the size of the Local Disk C after I open windows then this is what it says: Local Disk (C:) 5.68 MB free of 10.6 GB.
And in the CD Drive (D:) Virtual Box Guest it says: 0 bytes of 61.6 MB
Does that tell you anything?
What is

You are cross posting by using this to talk about an issue you have opened about how to increase the size of the guests hard drive. Just use it since that is what the problem really is.
