multi virtual screens

Post by icegood »

ASs i remember everything worked for me as i used VBox ~1 year ago. But for know i cannot recall how to obtain >1 virtual screens.
That is what i did:
1) Setting\Display\Monitor Count - set to 2.
2) Start VM. In main menu i see only one virtual screen.

It isn't a feature I have a use for, but perhaps the GAs need to be installed?

Oh, and make sure the VM is shut down when you make the change.

Thanks, but it should be something else :(. GA was installed even before i've changed to 2 monitors. And actually i've reinstsalled it after. No luck :(
