cant change resolution if use 2 monitors

Post by Keks666 »

Hi

I use VirtualBox on my laptop (windows7). I connect a monitor via HDMI wih resolution 1920x1080. Started the virtual machine (also windows7) moved the window to the second monitor, switched to fullscreen, but the window shows only an 800x600-resolution and not the full. What's wrong?

Have you installed the Guest Additions in the guest? If you're not sure, please post a compressed VBox.log. For more information, please see: Minimum information needed for assistance.
