Hi there.
According to
https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch04.html#guestadd-3d
"The 3D acceleration currently has the following preconditions:
1.
It is only available for certain Windows, Linux and Solaris guests. In
particular:
-
3D acceleration with Windows guests requires Windows 2000, Windows
XP, Vista or Windows 7. Both OpenGL and Direct3D 8/9 (not with Windows
2000) are supported (experimental).
-
OpenGL on Linux requires kernel 2.6.27 and higher as well as X.org
server version 1.5 and higher. Ubuntu 10.10 and Fedora 14 have
been tested
and confirmed as working."
Make sure that you also install the guest additions in the Windows guest in
SAFE MODE, this because the Guest Additions installer needs to replace
certain windows files that are otherwise "protected" from change.
For the basic Direct3D acceleration to work in a Windows Guest, VirtualBox
needs to replace Windows system files in the virtual machine. As a result,
the Guest Additions installation program offers Direct3D acceleration as an
option that must be explicitly enabled. Also, you must install the Guest
Additions in "Safe Mode".
I hope this helps!
