How do I customize my resolution in Windows XP in a Virtual Box?

Question

My primary OS is Ubuntu, a GNU/Linux Distribution, and for compatibility sake, if WINE doesn't work *In which in my case WINE normally doesn't, but I do know that WINE can play a lot of things, like Crysis 2 for instance, in which I saw a Youtube video on* for me, I can rely on a Windows XP Virtual Machine. I can only fit 1024x768 on the screen instead of anything larger. I have a 1440x900 resolution monitor. I want to make a customized resolution to fit my screen size so it won't conflict with anything. Is there anything I can do?

Answer 1

did you install the guest additions on xp?. idk if the linux version has that. if that fails. i always go with dualbooting, i use several different distros and windows releases for different reasons, i don't often emulate or run VM software though, so i'm just doing the best i can here, hope it helps

Answer 2

as much as now as i understand, that's impossible for an OS in Virtualbox to do any harm on your device. the academic seems reliable. i opt to advise giving it a pair hundred GB's of area in a dynamic force nonetheless. That way you will no longer run out of area in Ubuntu or waste any the way a fixed disk does. i'm uncertain approximately moving from the centred visitor to host immediately, yet you could burn disks and write to exterior drives from the digital OS.

Answer 3

When virtualbox starts go to the Settings and and then the Display tab and see if you can allocate more video ram for the guest system.
