Unable to install video drivers

First post!

Hello and thank you very much for this awesome free software.

Unfortunately, I have a problem with it. I' ? running virtualbox OSE on a Compaq 6720S notebook with Ubuntu 9.10 host OS.
In the WIN XP guest system my computer says that my video and base system drivers are not installed, so I downloaded the driver packages from the Compaq website.
However, when executed setup returns: "This system does not comply to the minimum requirements - setup will now exit"

Any idea how to proceed?

Thanks.

You need to install the guest additions (in the guest)
Click the devices tab at the top left of the guest window and then click install additions
If this does not appear to do anything then click devices and unmount then click install additions again.
If you do not see anything happening then open the guest file manager and manually select the CD and click start the additions from there.
