    VPC2007 Additions causes low res display

    Installed VPC 2007 SP1 and everything went fine. Also installed the security
    fix and Virtual PC 2007 hotfix package.
    Still everything working fine. Then I installed the additions. This messed
    up my display. It is running at 640 X 480 4 bit.

    Device Manager does not red "X" flag the adapter as having a problem but I
    deleted the display adapter (VM Additions S3 Trio32/64) anyway and rebooted.
    When the Additions driver reinstalls the display goes back to low res.



    If I uninstall the additions the display is OK again.

    Forgot to mention that the VirtualPC is XP SP3

    what is the monitor set to? I've seen where it gets set to a low-res monitor
    instead of a pnp one.
