<font face="Verdana">More testing shows this not to be guest
addition related. It appears to be host side as far as I can tell
and affects Windows guests only. If the guest is set to a size
before you update there is no issue it starts at the size stored
in the .vbox file. If however you try to resize the guest down
and back up with the mouse drag it will decrease but it can not be
increased.<br>
<br>
As you can see this is indicating the size change, however the
frame does grow but the guest does not. This is an XP-x86_64
guest.<br>

and <br>
it was working just fine until the update from svn r39104. <br>
<br>
I found VBoxGuestAdditions-r74568.iso that Michael posted
yesterday in <br>
bugtracker and tried that on the Windows 7 guest. However that did
not <br>
help at all. I reverted back to r38938 and reverted the extension
pack <br>
to release 4.1.4 and the Windows 7 guest now has the ability to
resize. <br>
Keep in mind that the resize did not work even with the 3D turned
off so <br>
I think that dismisses the wddm drivers (which i didn't think
would <br>
effect this problem anyway). <br>
