You probably need to install the "Virtualbox Guest Additions" within the Guest. This will configure your graphics device to something a little less-generic, amongst other things.I have no experience running VM VirtualBox prior to using it to evaluate different Linux Distributions.I am running v4.2.0-80737 -Win on a laptop and have installed the appropriate Extension Pack.I have successfully installed and evaluated five different linux distributions without any problems with regard to using VirtualBoxThe problem is that I can't seem to control the availability of some of the options in the View pull down box. VirtualBox seems to randomly determine if all of the options will be available. Currently only three option are available (with other virtual machines use the full window):Switch to Fullscreen Switch to Scale Mode Adjust Window SizeAs a consequence, I am only able to use a small window in the laptop screen. Switch to Fullscreen works, but it's really ugly as the screen resolution is really bad. How can I force the virtual machine to use the entire screen with better resolution?Any help will be appreciated.
