1024x600 NetBook-Linux Mint 8 Host, Win XP Guest?

HI,

I may be trying to push what is technically possible but thought I would try it.

I installed Linux Mint 8 32bit onto my new NetBook
with dual core 1.6GHz ATOM CPU, 1GB RAM, and 1024x600 screen resolution.

Then I installed current VirtualBox and installed Windows XP Pro 32bit SP3
into a newly created virtual machine.

Then I installed current VirtualBox Guest Additions into XP guest virtual machine.

All went perfectly with no problems to report.

My only problem is that the XP guest virtual machine
in windowed mode will only display 8bit color?
Tried to go into Display Properties and change to higher bit depth but did not work. Going full screen allows me to use 32bit color depth, but can't seem to do that in windowed mode. NOTE: I allocated 384MB RAM and 64MB video memory to the XP guest virtual machine

Any ideas? Thanks!


Jesse
