Re: directX
Read the manual and install guest additions in safe mode. Thats all what you need.

Re: directX
You must not install a DirectX Installer.
The Guest Additions installs some basic 3D with Wine3D compatible to DirectX 9. More is not possible.
And for tthe manual press F1 in VBOX.

Re: directX
How much damage, and Vista, if Windows 7 will be enough to dissuade people from Windows XP you have any questions, nobody has the answer end-user redistributable today.DirectX redistributable that developers can integrate their products. redistributable license agreement covers the terms under which developers can use redistributable.Windows 7 is what Vista should have been when we had to go.
