Is their anyway to make the screen of the actual OS take up the entire monitor screen? I press full screen but it is still the same size

Workstation, just had to just the screen resolution setting within XP. Also with workstation, will it run XP as if it was running on my computer and use all2Gb of ram and video card memory? Or do I have to set that up, because I want to have it to use daemon tools since it does not work in Vista

You can run XP on XP vista on vista, one of the benifits of a VM is that it will let you do things in it that normal would be risky for companys to do like testing software etc. You are also able to set the ammount of ram each VM will use it's under the options tab before you boot up a VM, for XP i would say 512mb at most for a VM that you are using for legacy support with XP. As for the video issue with the ammount used i am sure it will only use what it is needed an not hog as much as it likes from the host OS
