My specs:

Macbook Pro
Snow Lepoard 10.6.8

Processor: 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

Memory: 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3

Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 9400M

Windows 7 Home Prem. 32 Bit

I gave Vitrual Box 70 GB and 2 GB of memroy

----

My issue is I installed Virtual Box and Windows 7 fine.

I installed my video drivers off my Snow Lepoard Disc

but my video drivers still are not being reconized. I have a video game I'd like to play on windows side but cant even open it. (world of warcraft, which I know has a mac client but i have more space on my VB and I have seen others run it in VB)

I tried to DL the drivers off NVDIA's website, they wouldnt even install off there -- but they did off the disc.

What am I missing or what do I need to do? OR try

Thanks for any help!

You can not install video drivers on the guest/s. The guest must use the vboxvideo driver.
Install the guest additions according the directions in your VirtualBox users manual.
