I just installed Virtual PC 6 on my new PB17, and put on Windows 2000. Although this isn't a big, deal, I was wondering if anyone knew how to make it so that when you go full screen at the highest resolution in the emulated Windows OS, is there a way to for the Windows operating system to recognize the 17" screen of the Powerbook and full up the entire screen in "Full Screen" mode, so you don't have the vertical black bars on the sides..

In Windows 98, when I choose the screen resolution in the PC, one of the options is the native resolution of the 17".

while i quickly set it up last night, it did not appear that any of the resolution options were the native 17" PB screen resolutions..
