Graphics card issue in guest OS: Windows 7

Post by sharf »

So I've got windows 7 as the guest OS. I enabled the use of 3D, and put the memory up to max, and windows aero wont work, and it says my graphics card doesn't support 3D. What's up?

Areo needs Direct3D

For Windows guests, support is restricted to 32-bit versions of XP and Vista. Only OpenGL acceleration is presently available in the guests listed above; Direct3D is not yet supported and will be added in a future release.
