Old Games and Virtualbox Issues

[Carracidius]

Hi there,

I'm new here so I don't know if this topic have been discussed. I'm trying to play Civilization Call to Power in my Virtualbox. It installs normally, but when I try to open the game, it returns to the Virtualbox OS desktop, nothing happens. My OS is Windows 7 and my Virtualbox is XP.

I even tried to use Windows XP Mode and it also installs CCTP but when I try to enter it gives me a Directx error like: your video card must support 16 bits per pixel and a 640x480 resolution, or something like that, I used to run an XP in my Toshiba Satellite and I used to play CCTP that time, but the problem is that is very difficult to find XP drivers for this laptop, so that I'm used Windows 7 and using Virtualbox with XP.

I haven't installed any other game in Virtualbox but I will try, just to check things out.

Thanks a lot

More than you can imagine. Try to do some research.
