RE: VirtualBox: Can't start VM

[Bill Troop billtroop@xxxxxxxx]

Carl, that anomaly with VB only seems to appear with W2K. For
example, I never saw it with XP under VB. I therefore changed to VMware
because Kari's reasoning had sold me on W2K.


By the way, I just tried fullscreen in W2K/VMware and it does work.
However, the full screen is a tiny and unusable screen in the midst of a
huge black background. This may be because my W2K resolution is just
under 3200x1600 - - thanks to the W2K's inherent adaptability and the
magic of the VMware's video driver. However, resizing the VMware screen,
which also changes W2K's resolution, does not, as I had hoped, help with
the miniature 'full screen'.


What is the size of your monitor and what resolution are you using it at?
I am assuming it is an LCD set to native resolution?
