WinXP guest BF2 graphic problem

Hi! I am running VirtualBox 3.2.8 on Windows 7 64 bit (host). I have installed Windows XP SP3 as guest. I have installed Battlefield 2 on guest, and (in-game) everything stutters. I have installed GA with 3D Acceleration (in safe mode), enabled 3D in settings. What should I do? (BF2 is my favourite game and in Win7 crashes). System Configuration: Sony Vaio, Win7 64 bit, Intel Core i3 2,13 GHz, 4GB DDr3, ATI HD5650 1024 DDr3. Thanks!

The game is too new and too advanced to be run in a VM. It stutters because the overhead is too great to give enough resources to the game. If the game crashes on W7, you need to look for a patch to fix this, as countless other gamers would have problems with this too.
