RE: VirtualBox: Can't start VM

["Harry Binswanger" hb@xxxxxxxx]

Wish I were that fortunate. I have gotten W2k running on Parallels
in tolerable shape, but before I tried using dropbox connection to
Xy, I wanted to try Virtual Box and Flash Player. Both installed,
but both a) give a very small screen, b) can't connect to the
internet (to get dropbox), c) don't see the host machine at all.
I'm sure this is a configuration issue, but so far, Parallels
Workstation wins. I have yet to try VMware, which I also have.

I will search old emails to see if the settings for Virtual Box
are outlined here.

Here's a better pic of full-screen Xy:

I'm still agog and haven't yet a-Googled to find out how this is
possible. I can only surmise that there are video drivers embedded
somewhere (VBox? my copy of Win7-32?) that enable it. Full-screen
Xy and my customized colors are SO important to me, and I was
resigned to losing them in the brave new 64-bit world. I feel like
I've hit the lottery. Also, the fact that this is now all very
zippy; I know I'm typing in a graphical representation of
full-screen DOS, but it doesn't feel that way. Amazing.
