Hello
I have installed win xp and win 7 on a win xp computer.
The host computer has good ATI graphics drivers but the virtual computers dont get that only
standard vga display adapter.
I have installed the lates drivers for the graphics card in both virtual computers - the
install seems to work but there is no effect - the drivers in device manager are still
standard driver.
What can i do to install correct drivers?
Greetings Grok

Re: graphic drivers
The OS in the vm does not see the graphics card in the host machine. It uses its own emulated graphics card. Installing the driver for the card in the host is a waste of time. Installing the guest additions should sort out your problem.
