Thread: 3d acceleration issue with Windows 7 in VirtualBox and Kodu

-

hi everyone,

i'm having trouble getting accelerated 3d graphics work in windows7 in virtualbox. hoping here has been through situation before , can lead me in right direction.

i'm using ubuntu 12.04 , running windows 7 professional virtual machine using virtualbox 4.2.10 , have vboxguestadditions 4.2.10 installed. graphics driver intel hd graphics 3000. in case matters situation, machine 64-bit.

here's story:

trying teach kids computer science, , they're exciting being able create video games, thought i'd have them try kodu. when boot windows, kodu works fine, i'd rather have kids stay in ubuntu , use virtualbox (with licensed copy of windows 7 professional) few things need windows, of games. however, when start kodu inside virtualized windows 7 professional, following error:
no suitable graphics card found.
direct3d hardware acceleration not available or has been disabled.

when enable 3d acceleration in virtualbox, error goes away , kodu opens without errors doesn't display anything, empty white window smaller black window in top left corner. heard initial sounds program makes when start, , when click in window can hear app responding clicking (by sounds makes), nothing displayed.

same machine has separate windows 7 partition can boot when start machine, , when try running kodu there have no issues.

had impression 3d virtualization done in software , should work graphic card supports opengl, i'm not sure why *real* version of windows work , *virtualized* version wouldn't unless graphics card having compatibility issue opengl or there's other obscure virtualization problem...and i'm not sure trouble-shoot here.

please let me know if additional info or log files or else, not sure start , don't want post things aren't helpful trouble-shooting.

i'm running win7 virtually on dell 64bit pc amd radeon gpu. when inside of virtual win7 @ control panel>>appearance>>display>>advanced options, , says using virtualbox graphics adapter. think ur problem on-board intel hd graphics 3000.

a week ago in premiere pro cs6 world. one day updated windows, next day few .mp4 video files opened in premiere pro, played fine well, except fact display has green (sometimes multicolour, solid green block) bars in lower third of screen. see screenshot below.   these same files open/display fine in after effects, photoshop , vlc- , quicktime players. i'd read fromyears ago windows updates causing this, removed 1 of therecent kb's no avail. i did install adobemediaencodertrial_64-6.0.3-mul-adobeupdate and dynamiclinkmediaserverretail-1.0.1-mul-adobeupdate and reverted quicktime 7.6 but nothing makes difference.   in end, formatted c:\, reinstalled windows 7 ultimate 64bit , downloaded/installed 260 updates , reinstalled cs6 (and aforementioned ame , dlms updates , qt7.6) it's still same problem.   also tried exporting (part of) 1 of these files, see if wasn't display problem: exported file same properties original has green bars.   what else can do?   thanks in advanc
