So, i tried to set up a VM for Ubuntu on win 8.1 using Virtual Box, and the resolution is all messed up. Any idea how to solve this. Its a intel/nvidia gpu laptop so do i have to go download a driver or something? Heres what it currently looks like.

Top View and then there are different window modes

Going into fullscreen doesn't change it's resolution.

Press Control+D to insert the VirtualBox Guest Additions ISO to the VM. VirtualBox emulates a GPU and drivers for it are included in the package.

 

 

Look under "View" on the menu bar.

Soo, uhh i just restarted the VM and it fixed itself...
