I am new to VirtualBox and am trying to set up an instance of Windows 7 64.
I have the virtual machine instance running with Windows 7 now installed, but it only fills up a small portion of my screen. Even when I go full screen, the window stays the same size and the rest of the screen is filled with gray space.
I have installed VirtualBox Guest Additions, which allowed me to go from a resolution of 800x600 to 1024x768, but this still isn't satisfactory as my laptop display is 1600x900.
Any help on this would be most appreciated. Thanks.
can you post a screenshot with VB at fullscreen mode? – Sathyajith Bhat – 2012-04-03T16:45:20.123
I'm having a similar problem, though it cropped up out of nowhere after things had worked properly for about 2 years. Mountain Lion host, XP guest, VBox v4.2.6. I increased the VM's total memory and video memory to no avail. – psoft – 2013-02-06T04:35:51.770
Just figured it out for myself - see answer. – psoft – 2013-02-06T04:42:39.163
