Hello, i've installed windows 7 into virtualbox 4.1.2 but when ever i start it i get this error.
Code:
The virtual machine window is optimized to work in 32 bit color mode but the virtual display is currently set to 24 bit.
Please open the display properties dialog of the guest OS and select a 32 bit color mode, if it is available, for best possible performance of the virtual video subsystem.
Note. Some operating systems, like OS/2, may actually work in 32 bit mode but report it as 24 bit (16 million colors). You may try to select a different color mode to see if this message disappears or you can simply disable the message now if you are sure the required color mode (32 bit) is not available in the guest OS.
I've opened up settings, then gone to display, but there doesn't seem to be a way to change this. Any ideas?
