[ubuntu] Can't setup my virtualized windows 7 screen to my screen resolution

Hello,

this is my first post on this forum because I'm very new to Linux & Ubuntu.
I already apologize for my Linux understanding but I'm confident I'll improve.

I run Ubuntu 12.10 and installed virtualbox 4.1.18 (failed to install 4.2...).
I installed Windows 7 in a VM and I'd like to use it full screen, i.e. 1920x1200 and/or 2560x1440.

I read so many different things on the net but none worked (yet).
I tried
Code:

VBoxManage controlvm "my_vm" setvideomodehint 1920 1200 16
. I get no error if the vm is running and an error if it's not running. I both case I can't change the resolution in W7.

I tried installing guest additions (failed) and finally understood it's not what to do in my case.

Since I'd like to use this configuration for work, I like to have my base image/environment fully working before I deploy some projects in different vms.

I apologize for that additional question on the topic but I'm afraid I have an additional problem.

Thanx a lot for your help.

Nicolas
