SOLUTION: Modify a guest

“

(upbeat music) - [Instructor] I am pretty happy with how my guests are performing, so I spent a little time making them look nicer. First, I made sure that they both had a decent amount of video memory or VRAM. This allows the guest to use higher resolutions. If a guest doesn't have enough VRAM to support the requested resolution, its window will just turn black until it's returned to a lower resolution. I spent some time to set my guests to both be 2560 by 1440 at 150% or 200% zoom, so they're nice and readable when I switch into full screen mode with a host key and F. I'll keep using my guests in windowed mode, though, so we keep the focus on virtual box itself throughout the course. In doing that, my guests will change their resolution a bit. So, I'll reset this to 200% and hit Apply. I hope you've spent some time working with your guest settings to get things the way you want them.
