How can I make the hyper-v virtual machine guest operating system (XP Prof) to use all of my monitor screen? Right now it's just showing on about a 7x7 window.

    Right-click the XP desktop to go to Properties and change it's screen resolution.

    The VM window itself also has a full-screen mode that you probably already used, but it would show black around the XP desktop if its resolution wasn't turned up.

    Thank you Shawn Keene.  It worked just as you instructed.  I'll just have to determine which combination will fit properly on my 1600x900 screen.  Thanks again.
