Intel GMA driver for Windows XP

I installed Virtual Box on my Vista (Business 32Bit) cause I need a running Windows XP (Intel Vista driver has missing components).

So I installed Win XP Pro SP2 and then wanted to install Intel Graphics/Chipset driver (seems to be the same) for Windows XP. But when I do that, Setup cancels after extracting the file ( http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_ ... 3&lang=eng ), German message: "Fehler: Dieses Betriebssystem wird nicht unterstützt. Setup wird abgebrochen.". Means sth. like 'Error. This OS is not supported. Setup will be cancelled.'

Ist there any solution for this problem? I googled for a while but I wasn't able to find anything.

You must use the VBoxvideo driver. Installing other drivers inside the guest will have no effect even if it loads other than trashing the guest.
Instead try to install the guest additions if you have not already done so.

I'm sorry, missunderstood VirtualBox.

It works fine, thanks a lot!
