Firstly i apologize if this is similar to past threads.
System specs:
i5 2450
16 GB RAM
2x GEFORCE GTS 450
(computer is horribly built i bought it off of an inexperienced friend)
I am trying to use a windows vista virtualbox to run a game called stronghold kingdoms. But i get a directx error that other people (running without virtualbox) fixed by installing the correct graphics driver for their gfx card which makes me wonder if that means i am having trouble because of how virtualbox (i think) uses a virtual graphics driver/adapter.
Please can you guys help me get this working?
Best Regards
Adran

Re: Graphics drivers
Install the Guest Additions, after enabling 3D acceleration. See the manual for details. If that doesn't fix it then nothing will. Gaming is not something that VMs tend to be good at.
Re: Graphics drivers
What does the guest additions do?
