How do I change the aspect ratio?

This is my first post on the forum, I have been following ReactOS for some time now and I like to play around with it in a Virtual Machine, the thing that bothers me most is that ReactOS is stuck in 4:3 aspect ratio and I can't for the life of me figure out how to get it to be in 16:9, when I go into display settings it only shows 4:3 resolutions and nothing more, any help would be apreciated. Thanks in advance.

Ps. I am running it in Virtualbox if that helps.

Go to control panel>Display. There will be a slider that will change the resolution, some with different aspect ratios.

You may need to install the appropriate drivers to get different resolutions. I know in VirtualBox there are only a limited set of options until you install the Guest Additions software.

You may also need to change which graphics card VirtualBox is emulating (while the VM is off).

For Virtualbox just reboot into safe mode and install the guest additions without the 3d drivers. Then reboot...
