| | Resolution problem with Win 98 SE under MS VPC 2007 This is not actually a problem, but more of an unexplained situation. When I start the Win98 SE VM, it is in 640 x 480 mode. I can change it and it stays at the upped resolution throughout the session. It does not stick between sessions though. Other system configuration changes do. Anyone else have this happening? FACE |

What worked: I went into "not running" settings of the VM I clicked on "display" and changed that from "use any screen resolution" to "use guest operating machine resolution" That worked. It starts fullscreen (checked) at 800 x 600 (internal guest VM screen properties). FACE |
