Hi,

I'm running VirtualBox 4.3.6 under Win 7 64bits on a Core 5.
As virtual machine I've installed WinXP SP3 Pro

Within WinXP virtual machine:

I have an issue with 2 graphical software one says: "you do not appear to be using a driver customized for your video card", consequently the rendering is in very low quality.

Another one says I'm running under OpenGL 1.1
re: http://www.opengl.org/wiki/FAQ#Why_is_m ... r_lower.3F

How can I improve the situation, according to msinfo32.exe under Win 7 my graphical card is "Intel HD Graphics 3000" http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/sb/CS-033757.htm
, which supports OpenGL 3.1 and Dirext X 10.1

Thanks.

You can't. Your virtual machine is using virtual hardware, including virtual graphics card which is not as powerful as an actual graphics card.

Why would it be impossible? I believe it requires more development to run an "advanced" virtual graphic card, no?

I really don't know if it is even possible to begin with, but it would definitely a LOT more development time. Paid time. Or contributions in code.
