Windows 7 is installed on the virtual machine. I made a guest addition. When starting the application, an error window appears, which says about opengl.

If you turn on 3d acceleration in the machine settings, in the display, then the error disappears, the program starts, but it is in a black background, while the program works if you feel the buttons in it. What to do?

This sounds like you made your own Guest Additions which makes the screenshotted window.

But I'm going to guess that you meant:
I installed Guest Additions. When I launch a program that uses graphics,
Start the VM from full normal shutdown, not save-state. Run until you see the problem happen, then shut down the VM from within the VM's OS if possible. If not possible, close the Virtualbox window for the VM with the Power Off option set.

Right-click the VM in the main Virtualbox window's VM list, choose Show Log. Save the far left tab's log, zip it, and post the zip file, using the forum's Upload Attachment tab.

Yes, I'm running a 3D graphics program. But when the program starts, it has a black screen. File uploaded

It does not look like the Guest Additions fully started. Try to see if "VBoxService.exe" and "VBoxTray.exe" are running in the VM OS's Task Manager. If not, the Guest Additions have a problem. We'd need a forum guru to suggest further steps, though.

In the task manager, in the processes there is a process "VBoxTray.exe", and in the services "VBoxService.exe"
