I'd like to decrease screen resolution in XP Mode to make the microscopic icons, text etc. easier to see.

My very strong recommendation is non to do this. I recommend that
y'all instead go along the resolution high, merely change settings so that
text, icon size, etc. are all bigger.

I've tried going through Virtual PC>XP Style>Properties in Win vii but the check-box to drop resolution to 640x480 is greyed-out.  I read this response and cannot figure out where on the XP desktop I'1000 supposed to find "Tools".

"To change these settings, when in the XP Mode desktop click on the*Tools* menu and so select *Settings.*You lot will at present exist at the virtual pc settings screen and should click on the*Integration Features* category."

Any assist on how to make XP Mode more than visible to my aging eyes would exist appreciated.
