But from the way that you wrote this it sounded more like pebcak. :-) Virtualbox, when configured correctly and in fullscreen mode, looks just like a 'real' install of the guest OS. The only way there could be sliders on the right side or the left side of the application windows would be if that was a normal display. An application that was in a windowed (not fullscreen) mode. Also note that the Guest OS needs to be configured correctly too. As for the instructions? Virtualbox has some of the very best instructions that I have ever seen. Don't think of Virtualbox as running another application on your OS. Think of it as running a different OS on your OS. -- David
