I didn't have the guest additions installed earlier on Windows 7 so the Windows Experience Index ran correctly but gave graphics a 1. I installed guest additions in safe mode with the experimental 3d support and then rebooted. Running the test this time closed the VM just as you saw. >> >> Rusty > > But, no doubt, the 2D accel improved quite A LOT the display in any windows version. > I have not tested other OS. > > Mario > Mario, I tested again and found that if I disable 3D acceleration then Windows 7 does not shut down when refreshing the index. It still shows a 1 though. So, it seems that this patch might be surfacing something that is broken but we didn't see until now. I had never seen anything official on 3D acceleration actually working on FreeBSD so not sure if that even works. > Links: ------ [1] mailto:rnejdl@ringofsaturn.com
