VM Setup & Windows Install Files

[cosmo27]

Looking to setup a VM for the first time and looking for recommendations. What does everyone use and where do you get your new windows product key? Are you purchasing new copy of windows? I downloaded VirtualBox and it seems to be decent but got stuck when my regular laptop product key failed to work when trying to install windows 7 premium on the VM. Also, any tips/tricks or special setup required to bot on a VM? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Version doesn't matter much.

I'm on the road now. I will email you tonight.

Thanks, i'll take any advice I can get

Did you ever find out about the product key Cosmo?
Have you set up a vm? Is it worth doing?

I'd like to know more to decide if its worth me doing it.

Thanks

I ended up going with oracle virtual box. It has been working well for me so far. I downloaded Windows 7 from online somewhere (just googled it). It hasn't asked me for a key yet. So far so good, I'd definitely recommend it. It is nice being able to do other things on your computer while botting, or even run two different rooms at the same time.

Does anyone have any recommendations for resolution of the VM?

Hi Cosmo,

did you install guest additions allready in VBox? after you do that, your options change with resolutions, but probably not beyond what your graphics chip is alowing.
stay with 4:3 to be sure. If you can get a size by default that you can work with you have 2 (command line) commands  to get more resolution options

VBoxManage setextradata global GUI/MaxGuestResolution any

VBoxManage setextradata "Windows 8.1" "CustomVideoMode1" 1920x1080x32"

just google these commands for more info


I dont know if I will recommened it yet but I use: 1920 x 1440 and most is read correcly

[cosmo27]

Is there anyway to increase the screen size of the VM so that tables don't overlap?

[Chillit]

Yes.

Go to screen resolution and turn it up to your preference. When you've found the prefered settings i recommend to "stretch guest". You can do this by opening workstation -> View -> Autosize -> Autofit window and stretch guest activated.

[cosmo27]

What exactly is stretch guest? Not able to follow your instructions.

To anyone: I'm using virtual box and the max resolution setting offered is 1600x1200, which still leaves some overlap with bovada tables. Any ideas how to increase a little more to not have overlap?

HI Cosmo, I guess I am that anyone 

I allready gave you your answer but you did not read it, or got it.

you need to go  to command line and uses something like this:

VBoxManage setextradata global GUI/MaxGuestResolution any

OR (other approach that may get you where you want)

VBoxManage setextradata "Windows 8.1" "CustomVideoMode1" 1920x1080x32"

I can help on Skype if you want. I am on a european clock (Amsterdam) and online at 14:00 and 20:30.

[cosmo27]

Still not following you 100% unfortunately... Still very new to VM's. Can you list some detailed step by step instructions? I'd appreciate it

[cosmo27]

Installing the guest addition did the trick

Good job.
When you "list all modes" in the Guest you'll find all options for resolutions. If it is still not what you need, and you know your graphiscard card can do better, you will have to go into command line in the host.
I allready gave some examples above.


Happy botting

[cosmo27]

Did you choose an .iso file to install Windows from through the virtual box setup?

It means you haven't told your VM where to find the operating system....'
