Windows Forum / Virtual PC / July 2008Resolution problem with Win 98 SE under MS VPC 2007
This is not actually a problem, but more of an unexplained situation. When I start the Win98 SE VM, it is in 640 x 480 mode. I can change it and it stays at the upped resolution throughout the session. It does not stick between sessions though. Other system configuration changes do. Anyone else have this happening?

The vm console will open to the resolution of the guest so it is apparently not holding in the guest. So the question is why isn't Win98 itself remembering the resolution. What is the name (exact entry) of the display adaptor showing in Device Mananger? In Win98 Device Manager is a tab on the System Properties page (right click on My Compuer and select Properties). > Yes. > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] >>> >>> FACE From "Colin Barnhorst" <c.barnhorst@comcast.net>, in microsoft.public.virtualpc on Thu, 3 Jul 2008 11:32:09 -0600 : >I suspect the issue is in Win98.

Thanks. I'll look into that. It is now set as "default" according to "device manager". FACE >>Check the monitor, if it is set to default, try changing it to >>plug-n-play.

I will at some time as an exercise. What worked: I went into "not running" settings of the VM I clicked on "display" and changed that from "use any screen resolution" to "use guest operating machine resolution" That worked. It starts fullscreen (checked) at 800 x 600 (internal guest VM screen properties). FACE >>Did the above work? > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > FACE Great.
