The auto-update notifier has some delay by intension. For Aero in Windows guests, a WDDM driver is required. Such an experimental driver will be available with the upcoming version 4.1 but it will still have several glitches. VBox 4.0.10 was released yesterday and there was absolutely no hint that we would ship a WDDM driver with it. Furthermore, apart from the Aero effects, Windows 7 should run fine in VirtualBox 4.0.10. And even if we will ship a WDDM driver for Windows, 3D effects in the guest are disabled by default in the VM settings for a good reason: The interface 3D effect is very "heavyweight" and therefore may contain bugs where a malicious guest driver can do some harm with the 3D drivers on the host. This is clearly mentioned in the user manual. Kind regards, Frank -- Dr.-Ing. Frank Mehnert Senior Manager Software Development Desktop Virtualization, VirtualBox ORACLE Deutschland B.V. & Co.
