XP D3D Guest Additions Enabled but not appearing

Post by idiomatic »

I'm not sure if this has been addressed before but I have installed guest additions through safe-mode with networking and checked both 2D and 3D enabled rebooted and the dxdiagnostic doesn't recognize either as being enabled and freezes when 3D isn't bypassed. I was curious if there was something I missed or this was a common error.

  • Follow a "start the VM from cold-boot" / "observe error" / "shutdown the VM" cycle.
  • With the VM completely shut down (not paused or saved), right-click on the VM in the VirtualBox Manager and select "Show Log".
  • Save only the first "VBox.log", ZIP it and attach it to your response (see the "Upload attachment" tab below the reply form).
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.

If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.
