Does your system meet the requirements (specifically, display needs 1280x1024 or higher resolution)? In some cases the display may start at a lower resolution than your hardware supports, but there is a widget that allows you to select a more suitable resolution. If your display just meets the minimum specification you may want to configure the VM to use "full-screen" mode to get rid of scrollbars. If your hardware does not meet the minimum specifications you can still run l2gen on the command-line, but you will probably have problems with hidden buttons in other SeaDAS GUI tools. My work provided a laptop with a tiny screen (1280x720) so I have to connect a larger external display to use SeaDAS.
There are ways to create a virtual screen larger than your physical screen but I'm not sure if the SeaDAS 6 VA supports that. There may also be some key combinations that will allow you to slide a window to a position that that allows you to see the hidden buttons. I have used such configurations in the past but a) you waste a lot of time adjusting window positions and b) it takes time to learn the locations of various buttons so you know where to look for things that aren't visible.

Thank you very much for your help, I managed to make it work by only changing the resolution to a higher resolution.
