Guest on the wrong monitor

Post by Pimol »

I have 3 monitors. Guest is showed on monitor 1 or monitor 3. If I choose monitor 2, the guest goes on the monitor number 3.
Any help?

First, undo whatever you did to cause this:

Try shutting down the guest completely using the guest's Shutdown command, then issuing these commands in the command line:

cd "driveletter:\path\to\where\Virtualbox\is\installed"
vboxmanage setextradata "VM name" GUI/LastWindowPostion
vboxmanage setextradata "VM name" GUI/LastNormalWindowPosition
