Enable 3D acceleration

Post by embili »

I can't activate the 3d acceleration mode (Settings->General->Advanced). There isn't any checkbox for the new mode. (Only: ACTP, IO APIC, VT-x/AMD-V and PAE/NX)

I've installed the new guest additions after removing the old version.

Host: Ubuntu 8.10 64 Bit
Guest: Windows XP SP 3 32 Bit

What can I do?

The option is in the General tab, not the Advanced.
