i installed windows xp in a virtual box and it works perfectly, im new to linux and well when it started it was in this little window so i decided to maximize it and now everytime i run it i can't make it go backto unmaxmize it. any suggestions or ideas?!?!?1

i don't know if what i just wrote made any sense but i just had like 1 minute to write it since im in another computer, any responses are deeply appreciated.

Are you talking about virtualbox as in the software from virtualbox.org?

If so did you try "Host key + F" keyboard combination? The "Host" key is usually the Right-Ctrl button. So try RightCtrl+F

No problem. I use virtualbox myself. Usually a message box will appear explaining this the first time you maximize the window - maybe you missed it.
