3d acceleration on Windows XP VMs

Post by Uncle Zak »

so here's the problem of this dillema:

Code: Select all

00:00:02.846355 VMSVGA3d: 3D support disabled! (vmsvga3dPowerOn -> VERR_INTERNAL_ERROR)
how to solve this?

currently, I use Windows 10 as host OS here so is this make a difference?

There is no longer any 3D acceleration for XP in VirtualBox. To get that you'd have to revert to VirtualBox 6.0.x and choose the VBoxVGA graphics controller. The Guest Additions have to be installed in XP Safe Mode. Be sure to uninstall later Guest Additions and extension packs before trying this.
