Yes, after your mail I deleted the existing VM and recreated it installing Win XP from an iso-image - the netbook doesn't have a dvd/cd lector. The resolution is still fixed at 800x600 but now with 32 bit colour depth. There is still no way to change the resolution. Additionally I found that I am not able to install the GuestAdditions. The iso-image of the guestAdditions is there. Selecting 'Devices - mount CD/DVD-ROM - Manager for virtual media' the image is in the list of the mounted isos. But when I click on the option to install them, there is no reaction... Any hint? _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
