VirtualBox WinXP resolution 1400 x 900 ? (Solved)

[longtom]

I have our WinXP professional now in a VirtualBox and all works well - apart from the resolution.

The screen has a 1400 x 900 resolution, which is not on offer in display properties in WinXP.  Any ideas how to tweak that?

It might still not come up after Guest Additions are installed as a resolution option.  you'll need to click on "machine" in the menu bar, thne make sure "auto resize guest guest display" is checked off.  From there you can stretch and resize the window using the pointer, and XP should automatically adjust.

I'll keep that in mind - thank you.  However, all was fine and even Windows showed it as an option once Guest Additions were installed.  I simply forgot the most obvious thing .... but I remember Alzheimers first name ...
