Ubuntu 14.04: Display resolution size issue(screenshot)

[axf5027]

Hello all,

I recently installed Ubuntu 14.04 as my Guest system on a Window 7 Physical system but am having troubles with display resolution - as shown below.


Things I have tried:
- Deleting/recreating a new Guest Machine with more video memory (now @ 80mb, instead of previously 4mb), and reinstalling Ubuntu
- Tried to adjust desktop resolution through Display Settings on the Ubuntu Guest OS(See above SShot)
- Tried to change the display driver to "Using x86 virtualization solution X11 guest utilities from virtualbox-guest...//..." under "Software & Updates" > "Additional Drivers"

- Tried to run Xdiagnose as instructed in another forum
----- After checking/selecting all Debug options and restarting my System as instructed, my display issue seems to have gotten even worse(See below)

UPDATE: Apparently I am not allowed to post URLs until I have been a member for at least a day and have at least one post so I have had to remove the ScreenShots. I can PM to those who are interested.

I would really appreciate your help with this problem of mine. I'm running out of things to try except for pulling more of my hair out!
Thanks,

-Andrew

Save your hair.

• 1) remove the Ubuntu dist. guest additions
  2) reboot the guest.
  3) install the guest additions that came with your VirtualBox install ( see device tab in the guest )
  4) reboot the guest.
