Run Windows XP with graphics card issues

[TheLizardQueen]

I recently downloaded and created a vitrualbox virtual machine so that I could run Windows XP in order to play The Sims Medieval, Everything went well in the download and install I believe, and I did install the guest additions, but every time I try to run my game from the launcher, it loads for a second then I get an error message that reads "Unable to start game. Device 0 cannot run this title. No supported video graphics card detected. Please check your system hardware." but I though the entire point of the virtualbox was that all of that hardware was "included" in the download of the Windows XP Mode (I downloaded the one with the media player). Everything else seems to be running just fine on my virtual machine but the game (IDK if this helps but I did already change the virtualization settings in my BIOS files).

If anyone else has run into this problem and knows how to fix it that would do a load of help, and you just might get some frog/toad pics in exchange.

VirtualBox 6.1.x no longer provides accelerated 3D graphics drivers for XP guests. The feature requires Win7 or later.

VirtualBox 6.0.x was the last to support 3D acceleration in XP.

I'm running 6.0.22

edit to add: do you think I would encounter the same problem is I downloaded the vista files?

XP Mode is part of Windows 7 and is only licensed to run on a Windows 7 PC. To run Windows XP in VirtualBox on Windows 10 you need the installation media for XP (CD, DVD or ISO file).

I didn't notice that this wasn't a fresh VM. In that case all bets are off. In any case we can't help you with unlicensed software.
