    I just bought this software because I have a boat load of Windows games. I have just installed Vista on the machine and everything is running great. I loaded Battlefield 1942 onto the Virtual Machine with no problem. I'm running Windows in full screen mode but when I go to run Battlefield, it runs in this tiny window that you can't even read the writing on the screen. Does anyone know how I can increase the size of this to run the game full screen. I thought that if I was running Windows full screen that I would be running the game at the same size... What Gives? Any help? Thank you in advance.

    Right on! I've got the same problem with the application window being too small. I've tried everything I know to increase the size with no success. Surely someone has an answer to this one.

    Best of luck.

    Here's how you do it...

    I figured this out through experimentation:

    Under "Virtual Machine Configuration" for your Windows virtual machine, under "Hardware" choose "Video."

    Click the checkbox for "Adjust the host computer's screen resolution in full screen."

    (This is just above the checkbox for "Enable 3D Acceleration.")

    This should allow you to maximize the size of your game at full screen mode.
