Specify screen resolution settings for full-screen mode

  1. In Microsoft Virtual PC, on the Virtual PC menu, click Preferences.
  2. Click Full Screen Mode.
  3. Under Full Screen Mode Preferences, do one of the following:
    • To make the screen resolution for the virtual machine the same as Mac OS X, and to have the virtual machine window fill the screen, click Adjust PC to match Mac.
    • To make the screen resolution for Mac OS X the same as the virtual machine, click Adjust Mac to match PC.

      Because you have changed the screen resolution for Mac OS X, the icons on the Macintosh desktop might change positions when you quit Virtual PC.

    • To keep the screen resolution settings for the virtual machine and Mac OS X independent of one another, click Don't adjust.

      If you select this option and the screen resolution for your virtual machine is higher than that for Mac OS X, the virtual machine window will display scrollbars that provide access to the entire screen.

  4. Click Done.
