Lost size options after upgrade to 1.6.2

I have a Windows XP guest that I had setup under version 1.5.x, and all was running great. With the guest additions installed, I could set the size of my display to 1600x1200 (although my local monitor doesn't handle that), minimize my vm, then use VNC from a remote computer to connect in and pickup the 1600x1200 size.

Now I've upgraded to 1.6.2 and the corresponding 1.6.2 guest additions, and I can't set my screen size to 1600x1200. I also can't drag and resize it to that desired size because my host doesn't support that size and I can't figure out how to get it off screen to drag the corner properly.

My question is what happened to all my size options? At least the 'normal' ones, like 1280x1024 or 1600x1200. All I see is 800x600 and 1024x768. I also have a full 128M assigned to video memory.

Help!

Please refer to the user manual section 9.12.

Thank You!

I thought I had read the manual, but I guess I must have missed that....or maybe I didn't read the manual for 1.6.2 and the behavior changed.

At any rate, that solved my problem.

Thanks again.
