You want to run Ubuntu from inside Win XP? Isn't that what Wubi is for? Or am I mistaken/confused about Wubi?

You have to install the guest additions to allow it to get a better resolution. On the VBox window, after starting up Ubuntu in it, click on install Guest Additions. This will put a CD in the drive in the virtual machine. You will likely getting an autorun error message, just hit cancel. Open up the command line and try this out:
Type in your password, then it will run the installation and tell you to reboot once it's done. After it reboots, it should automatically update to a better resolution for you. Also, this is case sensitive, so make sure you catch the capital letters.Code:cd /media/cdrom sudo ./VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run
Let me know how that works for you.
