I changed your title somewhat. As it was, someone might have glossed over this thread because it looked like it was about software, not your iMac.

No iMac here to test, but perhaps the VPC VRAM settings would help. Although I would be surprised if the answer was there, since even with 4-6 MB VRAM, you could easily go past 1024 x 768.

My version 6 only goes to 1024x768 too.

What you can do to get the display to the edge is to set the preference that changes the Mac resolution to fit the PC. It will still be 1024x768 but it will lower your Mac to that too so the screen is filled. It's not really good to go higher than that resolution in VPC because of the limited VRam and performance.

You should still get higher than that using VPC 7 though. Maybe you installed the additions?:
