Hi everybody,
I can't run a .exe application on windows 7 guest on my mac.
It always write an error message saying that my graphic card is maybe to weak or that my drivers aren't up-to-date.
I made all the update possible on w7, guest addition and I always can't get this thing working.
I don't know what to do... I search on the internet but didn't found. Hope you can help me...
Thank you

Would help what you want to run. Is it Internet Explorer, is it the installer for Firefox, is it a game? Not enough information, read the
Forum Posting Guide to learn how to make a proper post.

It's a little application to help in doing things in a game. Minecraft Song Planner.
But I king can't be more precise cause I don't know what it look like.
I tried increasy the video memory, like I read on an other forum but it still didn't work and even if I change the resolution it still say that the graphic card is to weak...
Strange cause I can use internet explorer and firefox without any problem, maybe should I try with an other executable application.

as you mention game and minecraft: Do you have guest additions installed with 3D support?
You may have problems with OpenGL in your guest.

I have installed the guest additions but not the 3D because I cannot tick it when I launch the installation.
Maybe there is something more to do to install 3D, I tried in the "settings" ticking the case "3D support" but nothing changes.
I didn't install or do anything with opengl. Should I install it before adding 3D support and test, or is it necessary to install 3D support before?

Ok my bad didn't read 4.4... it's a bit stupid cause it's call "...support 3D".
It seems to work.
Thank you very much for helping a noob like me
