You need to install the Guest Additions (GAs) in Windows 7. When Win7 is running, go to: "Devices" menu » "Insert Guest Additions CD image...". If the GAs installation does not start, open Windows Explorer and run "VBoxWindowsAdditions.exe". Reboot Win7. Eject the CD from Windows Explorer. Enter Full Screen mode.
