A quick howto on Vbox for w$7

[gezza]

Hi to all,
Running Virtualbox for win7 with PCLinuxOS installed.
I cannot resize the window (screen). It was a remastered version on a 1280x1024 screen and now I cannot get a smaller  screen in VB.
This mylivecd contained the root files system and my home folder so the home folder contains all my email so I cannot just delete '.kde4'.
Any thoughts greatfully received.

PS.
Many thanks to the ADMIN Guy/Girl that told me about 'sakis3g'. I am sorry to say that it did not work for me. I still was locked out from any internet access.
That was why I imaged my system and re-installed into virtuaBox.

Open Synaptic and make sure the guest additions are installed (they are by default so should be there).

Some people can resize windows with pclos inside and others can't. I've never been able to do it myself. You should still be able to open PCC and Configure your Desktop and use those to resize the display though. Then you can resize the window around it.

Guest Additions installed? VBox has its own graphics drivers, and no Guest Additions = limited video.
