There is a menu, select Devices > Insert Guest Additions CD Image

My LL goes full screen 1920x1080, and the VBox pop-up menu is not captured by the screen shot tool.?Īt this stage your VM will be in a standard default box, like 1280/1024 or 1024/768?, which maybe native.? "Windows Alert", but the only way I could capture a screen shot is with a Windows VM, This contains all the relevant VBox drivers for the corresponding VM, like display etc.Īpologies & Sorry. Once you have created your VM the first thing you need to do is install "Guest Additions" It is a download common across all platforms released with each release,ĭownload it from the same location you get Virtual box from(not the Oracle Site):įile > Preferences > Extensions click on the little orange V to add itģ. VirtualBox 4.3.20 Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack Before creating your first VM ensure Virtualbox extensions pack is installed.Įnsure you get the version that matches the Virtualbox version you are about to install This improves performance by using your CPU features directly, rather than emulating them.Ģ. Something like Virtualisation/VTx, check your manual or go on-line. In the BIOS settings you may have a setting, This may or may not be possible depending on the age/vintage of your CPU.? I think VMPlayer is more suited towards business, given it's parent.ġ. In my opinion it is the best for Home Users/Enthusiasts, I have installed it many/many times on Win7 & XP. Really not sure what issues you had with VBox install.
