Hi
I have a MacBook Pro running Mavericks
I have installed VirtualBox 4.3.22 r98236
In win 7 I have installed VBoxGuestAddition_4.3.20.iso
I have also tried the following commands in the Mac terminal :
VBoxmanage setextradata Windows CustomVideoMode1 1920x1200x32
Can you suggest me what else I can try in order to have win 7 in full screen, I'm stuck at 1024x768
BTW I know that there are no guest addition pack for Mac but Dropbox can do the trick so you can exchange data between a real mac and the virtual one

Re: Cannot have win 7 on full screen
Attach the vbox.log (compressed) for the W7 guest. It sounds like the guest additions aren't installed.

Re: Cannot have win 7 on full screen
Well, first thing is I only needed one vbox.log (compressed) The log without a number is always the most recent.
Apparently you have been playing with various settings because one log said you assigned one cpu for the guest and the other two CPUs.
You also have 11GBs????????? assigned to the guest. Try 4GBs.
Both logs I looked at said you have 4.3.22 GAs not 4.3.20 as you first said.
Try this. First run the VirtualBox_Uninstall.tool, then reinstall VB 4.3.22 Try your guest again after adjusting the memory.
