5713	WinXP guest (32 bit) on Win7 host (64 bit) crashes when accessing 3D features	sbudde		"Hi everybody,

I'm running a host with Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit) with VBox 3.1.0.

The guest is a freshly installed Windows XP SP3 Professional (32 bit).

I turned on the 3D support in the machine settings and installed the guest additions (once in normal mode and after experiencing the crash also in save mode).

If I try to run dxdiag.exe in the guest, the whole guest instance crashes when dxdiag.exe is accessing the Direct3D features. After restarting the guest and rerunning dxdiag.exe, it askes wether it should attempt to use Direct3D or not, as it is aware of the crash (how convinient).

The Win7 host reports an APPCRASH with following details (roughly translated the description fields, as I am running a non-english Windows version) :

dxdiag.exe reports on the XP guest, that the files
{{{
d3d8.dll
d3d9.dlll
}}}
are outdated. These two are dated to 11/30/2009, so I assume these are the ones VBox has replaced to provide 3D support.

However, these files are listed as verion 3.01.xx, although all other DirectX files are listed with versions greater 5.x.

I don't know if this oddity has anything to do with the crash.

I'd be happy to provide any more information, e.g. minidumps ... I configered them to be written on each of the two systems, but there's nothing written. Any hints?

Best regards,
