I've just installed Virtual PC (ver 7.0.2) w/ Windows 2000 pro as the MS Windows version. When starting Virtual PC, and Windows, I get a small Windows desktop that I cannot resize. Just 6.5 X 5.5 inches on my 20 inch monitor. I've tried all the window's setup options, full screen mode, google searching for similar problems, and a search of the archives on this forum. My first assumption is that I have done something wrong in the setup. All the PC applications function. Any known fixes?

I installed it once with 2k pro and I have a 20inch monitor for my G5, I had the same thing. I just assumed that was how it was supposed to look. I never fuddled with it because it was so slow and buggy.

Inside of Virtual PC window, Click START, then Settings then Control Panel

Open Display then click on the Settings Tab and change the screen resolution. Maybe something like 1024x768 or 1280x1024.

Try that.

Tried that during one of my first flogging passes, no luck. Thanks you though.

Did you install the extra tools software inside of Virtual PC? On the file menu I think there is something like "install tools" or something similar and that adds alot of extra functionality like the ability to move the mouse in and out of the Virutal PC without using the keyboard switch keys. It may also allow for more flexibility with Video resolution.
