Does Oracle VM VirtualBox work on my version of Windows?Older versions of Windows often have trouble running modern software and thus Oracle VM VirtualBox may run into errors if you're running something like Windows XP. Conversely, much older software that hasn't been updated in years may run into errors while running on newer operating systems like Windows 10. You can always try running older programs in compatibility mode.

Boots fine, behaves well… here is the resulting desktop, captured using Host-E:
Virtualbox For Win 7 32 Bit
Now, to get full screen, I hit ‘Host-F’ where the Host key is usually right Control. Here’s what happens when I do that (grabbed this screen using Gimp, since Host-E gave an image identical to the above, which was not what I actually saw):
Now, if we look more closely at the second image, we can see a cursor (near the top):
What seems to have happened is that the narrow border around the screen, drawn I think by VirtualBox itself, is covering the VM screen. Since VB is drawing the border itself, and knows it is a border and not the VM screen, presumably it doesn’t capture it when Host-E is used to grab the screenshot, which is why the Host-E screenshot actually looks OK — even though the user (me in this case) can’t see anything! But Gimp captured what was really there.
Now, the fix is easy — use the four-pointed cursor (yours may look different) to resize the bottom border by clicking and dragging it all the way to the bottom of the screen:
So I guess this counts as a minor bug in VirtualBox, but not much of an issue. So now that’s sorted out I can get on with some editing.
