Display Adapter

[jaycup]

Device Manager is showing the Display Adapter as "VirtualBox Graphics Adapter" I want it to recognise my Sapphire Radeon X1650 Graphics Card so that i can install the appropriate ATI Drivers. How can I do this.
On a similar note my on - board Sound Chip has not been identified properly and again i would like to correct this and install the correct drivers.

As you are using Virtualbox, it is using virtual hardware - not your real graphics adapter or sound card, so it's not possible to use those drivers unfortunately. If you want to try and use your real hardware, you could always try a dual boot install?

Thanks for that, I thought this would be the case. Since I have 'installed' Windows 7 for the purpose of trying things out I can live with these restrictions. I am already dual booting XP and Vista so if I get intrigued enough I might do an upgrade install on Vista. Thanks again.

Nvidia updated the pre-releases this week and are working fine (on my pc).
Previously I had to use the Vista drivers to set my resolution correctly

Its my understanding it is not the video drivers at fault it the virtualbox Did Nvidia add support for Virtualbox??
