[SOLVED] Virtualbox - no 1920x1200 resolution after guest additions install

[hotweiss]

Hi, I installed the Virtualbox Guest Additions software and I still cannot get the 1920x1200 resolution? Is there a solution? I have searched and all the information that I have found is conflicting and dates back to Virtualbox 1.5. One of the solutions states that I should modify my xorg, but the Nvidia drivers are so sensitive...

OK, the solution was right under my nose. I just had to set it to automatically resize display and then make my XP session full screen.
