Default Help with virtualization on 10.6.2 - 02-17-2010, 01:58 PM

Ok so i set up my xp virtual machine fine with suns program. but when i am in it, all i can get is 640x480 4 bit color? i feel that there is a driver i am missing but im kind of lost.

I ran the guest additions and everything went smooth, but after a restart, i lost all color and screen resolution.

before the guest additions everything was fine (resolution wise)


anyone run into this and fix it?


thanks

It's not that bad, especially if you suspend the virtual machine between uses.
