I do not have any suggestions but I can add some data points. I too am seeing the problem that you describe but with a different setup. I have a laptop with a 1280x800 screen and an NVidia graphics card. The host OS is Ubuntu 6.10 and the guest is Windows XP-SP2 Home Edition. This system exhibits the problem you describe. I just tried this out on a system at work. That system has a standard VESA resolution of 1280x1024 with an MGA graphics card. The host OS is Ubuntu 6.06 LTS and the guest is Windows XP Professional Version 2002 (pretty old). That system works fine for dynamic resolution changing. Also, when I shut down the guest on the laptop (with the video problem), the reported state in the VirtualBox manager says "Aborted" rather than "Powered Off". That is not the case for the system work (without the video problem). Is your Win XP guest by any chance the Home Edition? I am wondering if that is the problem. -- Glenn Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
