Sun Virtualbox

[Madxgraphics]

I am using Sun Virtualbox to play with different OS's. At the moment I am playing with XP and nLite on VB to see what I can anc can't do with the OS...
I have not much experience with Virtualbox or any other such like programs
My question is as follows. I have an Chimei CMV 221D 22" monitor. When I have virtualbox open running XP the screen size is like that of a 14" screen..How do I make it full size, to the size of my monitor ? I have looked everywhere without luck...Help please and thanks..

First of all you'll need to install "Virtualbox Additions", it's one one of the dropdown menus. This will install a better graphics driver and some other useful addons, like mouse integration.

Once you've done that, just re-size the window or choose "full size" from the first menu option and it will become a full screen guest OS.

Click on Devices and scroll to " Install guest Additions"

v .3.0.4

I can't see the devices nor the install guest additions

do you mean my VM's?
I got all my VM's on the left hand side

then on the top menu I got

file machine help

which one do I go into?

You've got to run the additions package once you are booted in to one of the VM's.
