No OpenGL On Windows 8.1 Pro 64Bit Guest?

No OpenGL On Windows 8.1 Pro 64Bit Guest?

Hi,

I've got a problem with the current VirtualBox.
I run a Windows 8.1 Pro 64Bit guest under Linux Mint 17.2 K.D.E. 64Bit host.
I've got no OpenGL under the Win 8 guest?
How do I get OpenGL under Win 8 guest?
Thanks!

Jesse

Enable 3D acceleration in the VM settings, and install the Guest Additions.

Post a VM log file. With the VM fully shut down, right click it in GUI. Select "Show Log" and save "VBox.log" (ONLY) to a zip file. Attach the zip here.

Hi,

I attached the VirtualBox log for Win 8.1 Pro 64Bit VM.

Hi Again,

This is a problem with Windows 8 Guest Additions.
I installed Windows XP Pro 32Bit SP3 into VirtualBox and OpenGL functions properly.

Please look at this bug:
https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/12048

Is this going to be fixed or I have to keep using Win XP ?
Thanks!

The zipped log you post appears to be invalid. Not a zip. Please check it.

This is a user self help forum - I have no information on when the devs will look at this problem. All you can do is add your name to the ticket and wait.
