Just a guess: Perhaps you have to increase the
video memory setting:
Start Virtual Box Manager
Select the VM
Press Settings
Go to Display, tab screen
Video memory setting slider
You can approximate the setting by multiplying :
color depth in bytes * height in pixels * width in pixels
Add a few Megabytes to the result and use that setting.
Hope this helps.
