    I posted this question in another page of this forum, but this page is more fitting for what I need to know. So, please excuse the fact that this question is posted elsewhere...

    I just installed Windows XP for a virtual hard drive. Everything is fine except for the fact that the XP window is in windowed mode, not full screen. I went to the control panel, then "appearance and themes", and then "display". In settings, I have my resolution set at the biggest - 800 by 600 pixels - but the XP screen is still in windows mode. How do I change it to full screen? Any help is appreciated! Thanks so much!

    If it's Virtualbox you need to install the Guest Additions option.... select the Devices option from VirtualBox's menu bar, and click on the Install Guest Additions option: Wait for it to install....Then reboot XP .then click full screen it should work then.....
