vitualbox opens in a small window and not working

[aaon]

Tried to find answers for this problem but couldn't so..after Installed latest vision of vitualbox it opened in very small window and wouldn't work, tried reinstalling and installing older vision and also reinstalling again, then it opened in lager winnow but looked like a bad overblown jpeg image with no menu system working, this has happened before and i managed to fix it somehow, but now i can't remember what i did.
I mainly use it just for my old ms money program on windows and lost without it, help would be really appreciated.
Im running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5

Under the host's View menu, check your settings for "Switch to Scaled Mode" and "Auto-resize Guest Display". They should be not-checked and checked, respectively. See if that fixes it.
