| Sun xVM VirtualBox I am running Windows 7 beta using Sun's VirtualBox. The installation went well, but the window is only 400 pixels wide and I can't seem to make it bigger (I can't se anything in the manual). Does anyone know how this can be done?

| There's something similar to VMware Tools in VirtualBox, but I forget the name of it. You might have to install that in the Windows 7 guest OS through VirtualBox.

| Yes - good suggestion. It is Install Guest Additions. I think Sun's VirtualBox is slightly quicker than VMware (and I can't get VMware to allow a network connecgtion for reasons I don't understand).

| I'm running Windows 7 beta build 7000 under VirtualBox, and after installing the guest machine additions, I still can't get a widescreen resolution. It's either 800x600 or 1024x768. Got any hints?

| ElDiabloConCaca Nixgeek suggested a good idea. I don't know why I get 1600x1200 resolution and you don't. VirtuqBox has a reasonable manual, but is a bit lean with troubleshooting.

| That's still a 4:3 resolution, though. It seems that widescreen doesn't work somehow? What's the emulated graphics card?

| its called as "Install guest editions". boot your OS image in virtualbox. once the OS is booted, from the main menu of virtual box ---- devices > install guest editions and then regularly, right click on your windows desktop and change your screen resolution. regards, rISK |
