Problem with VBoxTestOGL.exe when starting VirtualBox

Post by wheweldc »

4.0.6 on Win 7 64 Pro.

Every time I start up VirtualBox, my Win 7 host throws up an error box with :

Code: Select all

VBoxTestOGL.exe has stopped working
Windows is collecting more information about the problem.
This might take several minutes...

Do you want to send more information about the the problem?

Files that help describe the problem:
  C:\Users\Des\AppData\Local\Temp\WER607C.tmp.WERInternalMetadata.xml
  C:\Users\Des\AppData\Local\Temp\WER78AE.tmp.appcompat.txt
 C:\Users\Des\AppData\Local\Temp\WER78EE.tmp.hdmp
After I cancel the error box, VirtualBox starts up and I can run VMs and stuff, but no video acceleration available.

Any idea what's causing this? Is the OGL significant, as in a video card problem?
I'm using a Radeon 1950XT Pro on Catalsyt version 2010.0210.2339.42455

Cheers,

P.S. I can upload the files mentioned in the error box if needed.

This happens because the drivers distributed by OEMs and by Windows Update does NOT include the OpenGL library.
To fix this, you have to download and install the recommended video driver from the website of the computer manufacture.
