When I use the virtualbox window it shows my virtual WinXP desktop at resolution 1024x768.[[BR]] But when I press HOST+F to fullscreen (1280x1024), and then press HOST+F again to come out of fullscreen, the WinXP desktop changes to resolution 640x480 in stead of 1024x768.[[BR]] That's very annoying for me: nowadays I do work in Visual C++ in the virtual WinXP mostly fullscreen but sometimes I go out of fullscreen mode to do some stuff with KDE/Linux and at the same time work with Visual C++ in the virtualbox window. But the virtualbox window needs to stay at 1024x768, I can't work with Visual C++ with resolution 640x480.[[BR]] I can change the WinXP display setting from 640 to 1024. Then I can go in and out of fullscreen mode and it will stay at 1024.[[BR]] This only happens with command ""kstart --iconify VBoxManage startvm ""WinXP"""". When I just use ""VBoxManage startvm ""WinXP"""" it stays at resolution 1024.[[BR]] I guess it has to with ""kstart --iconify"": maybe because the virtualbox window starts iconified(=minimized), Virtualbox doesn't save that the resolution of the virtualbox window is 1024.[[BR]] So can you developers please change the way how Virtualbox saves the resolution of the virtualbox window when it starts a snapshot of a virtual machine: when the virtualbox window starts minimized you should save the display setting when it is not minimized.[[BR]] In the mean time could you provide me with an easy WinXP command/script that I can click on my virtual WinXP desktop to change immediately the display setting from 640x480 to 1024x768? That seems to me now the fastest solution to my problem. Off course I will try myself to find on the Internet how to do that WinXP command.[[BR]] vatbier",defect,closed,other,VirtualBox 1.5.0,fixed,,,other,other
