[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 1377049, member: 71075"] The problem here is Mint's DE (desktop environment). It, like GNOME 3, is 3D accelerated and these DEs don't play well in VirtualBox. This is why using Ubuntu's Unity interface in VirtualBox can be tricky for some since it's also 3D accelerated (unless you explicitly choose the 2D version). I'm assuming you're using the default version of Mint here. You may have luck depending on the video card you're using but you'll have to install the guest additions to even attempt it. Have you done this already? [/QUOTE]
