Hey guys,
So I'm a beginner at this kind of stuff. Downloaded Windows 8 through VirtualBox. Everything worked great! However the screen was not the correct resolution for my laptop. I read some posts and figured I would follow it. In the process I used the command script through the virtualbox folder on windows 7. I entered in a line of code...
VBoxManage.exe setextradata “Windows 8” CustomVideoMode1 1366x768x32
I typed this out several times and nothing happened...then I changed the "L" on model to 1 because I wasnt sure if it was an L or a 1.
Then when I submitted it and went back into VirtualBox, it screwed up and gave me this message...
Failed to open a session for the virtual machine Windows 8.
One of the custom modes was incorrect. The format or bit count of the custom mode value is invalid. (VERR_VGA_INVALID_CUSTOM_MODE).
Now, I cant view anything and it is completely not working. Does anyone know how to fix this issue?
Your help will be greatly appreciated!
