I've installed virtualbox in Win7 pro. I've then installed win xp home edition in virtualbox. After installing a couple of games in xp I get a message saying that Direct 3D is not set up on my graphics card. I've ticked the 3D acceleration box in Display, but this hasn't worked. Any ideas?

Did you install the guest additions?

Erm... how do I do that? Which might mean no

I suggest you start by reading the manual.

I have tried reading the manual. I've opened the virtual media manager but can't find the Devices menu.

Run your guest, will see the Devices listed.

OK mounted guest additions and installed in safe mode. now getting message decodepointer could not be located in the dll. so program won't load.

Sorry but I can't help you any further. I don't use VBox to play games.
Most users would advise against it, you only have to read past posts.

OK. Thanks for your help!
