    Same problem here. Basically I'm running Ubuntu as the host. I'm using a 32" LCD tv as my monitor. Obviously this is widescreen. Seven, however, doesn't pick-up that my monitor is widescreen and displays 2 black bars as seen in the picture above.

    The Virtualbox guest additions driver is installed for the video card and that has given me more options for resolution but it hasn't supplied me with any widescreen resolutions

    I just fixed this by installing the guest drivers.

Sun VirtualBox Problem
in Virtualization

I'm using Sun VirtualBox and running Ubuntu 8.04 server and Ubuntu 9.10 desktop and each time I run them I have to go through the install phase everytime. Is there a setting I should have checked to save my profile within the virtual operating systems?
