Proper Screen resolution for Windows on iMac 24inch?

I'm running Windows XP Pro on the beta 2 Fusion, but can't figure out how to get the correct resolution and aspect ration on the Windows side. I've installed VMware Tools. On the Mac OS side the resolution is set at: 1920 x 1200.

Thanks,

-Bill

Not sure how I'm getting it, but I have XP Pro SP 2 with Fusion 36932 on my 24" iMac, and I get 1920x1200 just fine when I click Full Screen. I haven't done anything special other than install VMWare Tools.

Don't try to change the resolution of your guest by interacting with your guest. Instead,

1) Resize the VM's window on your host by dragging its lower-right corner.

2) Go full screen (I believe it is under the View menu)

Let us know if these don't work for you.

Seems to be working fine now. Before, the best I could get when I switched to fullscreen was either 4:3 or off the screen.

Thanks,
