Oracle VirtualBox

Just a shot in the dark, but have you installed virtualbox guest additions? it should be under devices in the top menu of your virtual system.

That is the first thing that I was going to mention, also doesn't Sun make VB?

Oracle does. It has worked for me, I installed ME not two weeks ago, no prob. Did you set the OS to ME in the OS settings?

No it was maintained by Sun, Sun go bought out Oracle I believe. However, the actual open source version is developed by the community. So, now Oracle just slapped their name on it, but everything was originally done by Sun.

That's what I meant.

it says platform is not supported to Guest Additions yet! I click ok it continues to install and it says it has finished but the resolution can't be changed. The OS is set to ME, and tried VB from Sun and Oracle - eather didnt work

Boot into safe mode by holding down the left Ctrl after the Virtual Box xcreen and try again.

 

[slavcho]

what to try again??

 

[lucasbytegenius]

Try installing Guest Additions again after booting into Safe Mode.

 

[slavcho]

tried same error...

 

[lucasbytegenius]

I'm out of ideas then. I've never had this happen before.

 

[slavcho]

anyway thanks for help, i will try some other virtualisation software... Can you recommend me any other but NOT VB?

Eh, my favorite is VB, but MS Virtual PC is ok, I guess. I don't like it due to its excessive resource usage. VB is much faster.
I have no experience in any other software, as when I found VB I found all I needed and ever wanted.
