Can't apply 3D drivers to Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit guest.

Post by yawnrock2022 »

Hello Internet.

I am having problems with my Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit guest.
I want to install Virtual Box Guest Additions, 7.0.4 version, they install ok but there is no 3D acceleration, even if it's enabled in the VM settings. Can someone help me fix this?

3D acceleration is only available for Win7 and later.

To get 3D acceleration in Vista you'll have to use 6.0. https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Download_Old_Builds
