    Studying for a Microsoft certification and referring to Microsoft as M$ is absolutely hilarious, in a maybe you should seek out Linux certifications if you feel that way kind of way.

    Anyways, why not adjust the resolution to the proper level on the XP VM?

    Did you install the virtual machine additions in the XP VM?
    Good luck to all!

    XP VM have only 2 option for resolution, and the VM setting, is disable.

    I've always chuckled at this same notion, (but note that I'd get chased out of town by pitchfork-wielding villagers if I threw out things like "Linsux" or "open-farce software" as casually. icon_lol.gif )

    In any case, Virtual PC is a very basic way of spinning up VMs. There are going to be issues, there are going to be some things you can't adjust for, and that's the unfortunate reality of a simple, free product. You might have better luck with Virtual Server 2005, which is also free but has a much broader set of features, (and is also more difficult to configure). You may, however, need to look into VMware, which is the VM host of choice for most people.

    you are making your issue way harder than it has to be. just simply resize your VMs window (aka hover your mouse over the corner of the window until it turns into the little arrow and drag it until the resolution fits the window)

    Did you try that? Usually the integration tools allow you to have more flexibility when it comes to the resolution (such as autofitting the guest). I'd definitely make sure they're installed.
