Virtualbox issues

I have virtualbox running on an AMD processor on W7. I am attempting to make a linux mint virtual box, and when I boot from disk and click 'start linux mint' after pressing F6, I get weird graphics glitches as shown here:
enter image description here



When I boot from compatibility mode, things begin to work, albeit very slowly. I am assuming there is some problem in the virtualbox settings or i am missing a driver, but I am clueless as to what needs to be done.



When I press CTRL + ALT + F2 then CTRL + ALT + F7, my graphics revert back to normal, but then it renders in software mode which is crazy slow..

  • Welcome, Enable 2D/3D acceleration. The system should be installed.

  • GAD3R I enabled both, the 2D one says 'invalid settings detected' down the bottom. I enabled the maximum possible video memory of 128mb but its not working either. I have also reinstalled guest additions so its not that. I still get software rendering mode popping up.
