Vista x64 driver issue?

[lewis595959]

I'm using VirtualBox on Ubuntu Intrepid, and I'm emulating Vista x64 Home Premium.

Everything works great, except I can't manage to get drivers for my audio or video.


The specific Drivers are for Realtek High Definition Audio (Can't remember any more than that, sorry) and a 256MB ATI Radeon HD 3650.

I've tried a number of different sources for my drivers (Installation CD, Internet sources) and I keep encountering these problems:


First, when I try to install the audio drivers, Vista prompts me for a restart (Insert obligatory anti-windows joke here). So I go ahead and restart and Vista starts to install the drivers... and fails. The error message was something to the effect of "The proper drivers cannot be installed. Please contact your manufacturer."

Second, when I try to install the video drivers, I have to install the ATI Catalyst installer... No biggie, I run that, and it "Can't find any supported hardware."

What gives? both of these devices work flawlessly in Ubuntu 8.10


Thanks in advance.

Did you install the VBox Guest Additions for your Vista?
