Its with the graphics. VirtualBox's emulated graphics is horrible. I'm using a med-end PC w/ NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti and running Windows 7. Used VirtualBox to emulated Windows Vista(the only OS disc i have) and I get the same problem you do. You just need to request the VirtualBox developers to make VirtualBox have better graphic emulation.

VirtualBox is an OS Virtualizer/Emulator. http://www.virtualbox.org/ I use it to run GNU/Linux on my Windows PC.

What went wrong:
In the settings for the VM(Virtual Machine) the 2D & 3D acceleration is both disabled.

The Fix:
Before running the OS(Operation System). Click the Gear Icon(Settings Icon).
Click Display. See if both of the 2D & 3D boxs are checked.
If not. Click each box so both have the check mark by them.
Close the Settings window.
Now you can run the OS.

Note/Declaimer: Some computers might freeze up. Do so at your own risk. It is your choice to take the risk. Most newer computers are not likely to freeze.
Don't blame me if it don't work with your computer and VM OS. It is your choice to take the advice.

I tested it with Windows XP. The Host computer is running Windows Vista.

Good Luck & Have A Great Day! :-D

When I first installed Windows XP it worked after I got the 2D & 3D working.
But now all I get is the white screen. (Roblox froze!)

I'm still trying to find a way to get it working again. Sorry I failed too. >.<

When it did work. It lagged. It was hard to move. I changed some settings. That may have caused it to stop working.

I'll post an update on how I get it working again. If I get it working again? D-':

Good News! I fixed it on my computer.

What to do:
1: Boot your Windows into Safe Mode in VirtualBox.
2: Login as the Administrator. (Admin hehe)
3: Install Guest Additions. (Its under "Devices" in the menu.)
4: When it goes to install. Click the check box for Direct 3D.
5: Continue installing Guest Additions. (Its the good kind of Guest. The Guest OS)
6: Restart the Virtual Windows.
7: Hope that Roblox will run.

Hope that this works for you too.

Good Luck & Have A Great Day! :-D

PS: I take no responsibility for what VirtualBox does on your computer. I am not the maker of that free program. Sun VirtualBox is now owned and updated by Oracle.

PPS:
Sorry I forgot to mention. If the mouse messes up in Roblox.
You are going to have to disable Mouse Integration. (The option can be found under Machine in the top menu of the VM window.)

If anyone doesn't know what VirtualBox is, it's more like another operating system in your operating system in your operating system in your operating system. (OSeption)

You could use another version of Windows like 7, XP or Vista in your PC. It's very useful.

Okay, what is ur VirtualBox's OS? 7, XP,or vista?
