SYMPTOMS
When you use Virtual PC 5 under Mac OS 9.x with an Apple Cinema Display, a black border appears around the virtual machine window if you press the COMMAND key while you are in full-screen mode.



CAUSE
This issue may be caused when you update Virtual PC Additions on the virtual machine. This only affects how full-screen mode operates; it does not affect the actual performance of Virtual PC.

Set the Video Resolution Matching preference to Don't Adjust on the Preferences page in Virtual PC:
 * 1) Click Virtual PC, and then click Preferences.
 * 2) Click Full Screen Mode.
 * 3) Click to select the Don’t adjust option, and then click OK.
