640 x 480 resolution

Hi,

I am using Windows 2000 as the host as well as the guest OS. My display
setting is currently set to "Allow any screen resolution". One problem I'm
having is that when VPC boots up, it starts in full-screen at 640 x 480
resolution. I can change it to 1024 x 768, but when I restart VPC it would
go back to 640 x 480. Is there a way for me to lock the resolution to 1024 x
768?

I didn't want to change the display setting to "Use guest operating system
screen resolution." The reason is under this setting, if I resize the VPC
window in Window mode, it affects the resolution in Full-screen mode. My
ideal setup would be that in full-screen mode, the resolution will always be
1024 x 768.

Thanks in advance!

Kenneth

What happens if you change the resolution inside the guest instead of
resizing the windows?

Have you installed the Additions? If you updated VPC to SP1, have updated

Thanks everyone for such fast responses! I solved my problem now. I went to
File->Options, click Full-Screen Mode, and unchecked "Adjust screen
resolution so the host OS is the same as the guest OS".
