3D requires the setting to be turned on and Guest Additions running in the VM. 3D does not come automatically with VboxSVGA or either of the other two cards. then i also heard i should increase the vram beyond 128mb, however it seems impossible as long as VBoxSVGA is on and though my laptop has only 128mb of vram, would anything happen if i exceeded that amount? i heard somewhere that this uses the normal ram rather than your actual vram so im confused is that really possible at all?Īero requires 3D acceleration. ![]() ive heard i had to turn "3d acceleration on", however i think this is really unnecessary since VBoxSVGA technically runs with 3d acceleration. i would like to increase this so i can get rid of the vista basic theme and see the theme for what its intended to be in all its glory (which i dont understand why itd be turned off, if my other win8.1 vm runs just fine with aero borders by default). I also have an additional problem i would very much like to fix regarding the "windows experience index" for windows aero, which keeps giving me only up to 1.0. i am frustrated enough so it seems vista really is that unstable after all if i cant even get it to work right on my vm. I just want to know what the issue here is. i have been prompted to "start windows with last known good configuration", where it did start up, however GAs didnt work for some reason I want to clarify that the chkdsk issue is a persistent one (happened in both vms where i installed sp1 and sp2 respectively, even before the installation of guest additions), and i was able to bypass it when entering "chkntfs /x c:" on cmd (it then just shows "Windows has finished checking the disk."), however i was not able to bypass the bluescreen after GAs installed. after this happens, the windows recovery screen pops up giving me the option to start in safe mode, which i then have to do to remove guest additions, then after i do it just starts up normally. Then after this, it either casually bluescreens for a split second, or straight up restarts all over again. ![]() now it Was able to complete the installation, prompting me to restart, however when i do, it gets stuck in a boot loop where after the microsoft loading bar disappears, in a black screen a white text shows up and says problem persisted until i downgraded to 6.1.0 thanks to a suggestion from someone with the same issue. ![]() before partially "fixing" the issue, i was running virtualbox 6.1.10, and when attempting to install GAs an error occurs when trying to execute VABoxDrvInst.exe. ![]() However, problems arise when installing guest additions (for screen resizing, drag and drop etc which i deem ultimately necessary). So basically, i first tried installing sp2 but had an issue with the installation (supposed "missing components" which i later managed to fix an installed to a different guest (which had Worse problems so i deleted it like an absolute fool)) So due to these technical difficulties, i ended up installing sp1. Guest is running vista ultimate sp1 64-bit with 2048mb ram and 128mb vram as well Windows 11 22H2 host, 12gb ram (11.4gb usable), intel graphics HD 620 with 128mb vram Hello, yesterday i tried to install vista on my vm and i think im having some serious issues with many things but the major one has got to be the installation of guest additions.
