I'm having issues with VirtualBox that hopefully someone can help me with.

I made a Win 7 64 VM to do some testing on XBMC. Everytime I launch XBMC, however, it crashes the computer with this in the log file

Code:

12:36:33 T:2016 WARNING: CRenderSystemDX::CreateDevice - initial wanted device config failed
12:36:33 T:2016   ERROR: CRenderSystemDX::CreateDevice - unable to create a device. 8876086A - D3DERR_NOTAVAILABLE (Not available)
12:36:33 T:2016   FATAL: CApplication::Create: Unable to init rendering system
12:36:35 T:2892   ERROR: CRemoteControl::Connect - failed to connect

I assume I have setting wrong in VB but for the life of me, I can't figure it out.

Interestingly enough, I have a Win 8 Customer Preview VM that runs xbmc just fine.

Any help would be appreciated.

Virtual box doesn't play nicely with OpenGL and 3D graphics. I know this doesn't really solve your problem but it definitely is something to note.

Whatever emulated video driver you're using does not provide the DirectX support that XBMC needs.
