Black Borders Around Ubuntu Virtual Machine on Startup

Hi,

 

After looking for an answer for this issue both in google and here, only this question appeared to be the same: https://communities.vmware.com/message/1997844?z=598k13

I have a Windows NT virtual machine running on Windows XP in VMware Player. The for the Windows XP machine has been set to 1024x768. The maximum resolution of the virtual machine has been specified for 1024x768. Whenever I open the Windows NT virtual machine, it's in full-screen mode, at a lower resolution (669 x 521) unscaled, and has the empty space filled black.

 

If I change to window-mode and back to full-screen mode, the resoultion changes to 1024x768 and it takes up the entire screen. This is what I need it be from the initial startup. I've been searching for a solution, but have not been able to find one that works. If anyone has any insight on resolving this problem, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

But there is no answer.

 

My case is just the same issue but:

Host: Windows XP SP3

Guest: Ubuntu 12.04

VMware Tools: installed

 

Anyone knows or can point me the answer or the discussion thread about this?

 

Update:

By mistake I logged in the VM as guest and the resolution was correct, there wasn't black borders.
