Adjusting screen resolution

Post by AMT7565 »

Could someone point me to some simple instructions on how to use the guest additions to enhance the resolution of my screen?

Thanks

I have a MAC running a Windows7 VM.
Is it not possible to adjust the resolution of the windows7 screen?

Thanks

you are posting to the wrong section and your original question hardly explains what host or guest you are running.

as far as your new question. you need to install the guest additions in your W7 guest.
