Vista home x64
 
 

can't enable full-screen

Hello,
I have Vista home x64 and installed vpc 6
but since yesterday it's not possible to enter the fullscreen mode
I have my tv connected to my computer so I can clone my monitor to my tv
for watching movies or youtube

I've restored it back to normal and since then the fullscreen mode does'nt work
my resolution of my gust pc is: 1680x1050
my xp virutal pc = 1440 x 900

the error message= Full-screen mode switch failed
Virtual pc was unable to switch to full screen mode.
Please check that the resolution of the guest is not higher than that of the host

I restarted the virtual PC

anyone?
