An appeal for Help or Leads,

I have Googled to death with no helpful return(s). I have Virtual Box 
running on Ubuntu Hardy with Windows Xp as a Guest. Most Programs I have 
tried to install run satisfactory. So far, the most notable exceptions 
are Turbotax, MS Flight Simulator, and Wintv USB2. All three install 
with NO errors. Turbotax and Wintv USB (Tvtime) run under Hardy (wine 
for turbotax, and tvtime for Wintv.) so I can rule out Hardware.

Using virtualbox:

o Turbotax will briefly show the "hourglass" but the program never starts.

o Flight Simulator provides the familiar start-up screen displaying the 
hourglass but terminates with an error such as ... Flight Simulator 
cannot work with your video card - please correct.

o Wintv USB2 starts and displays the TV screen and controls, indicates 
which channel is selected, but no sound or video. The Sound is probably 
trivial to resolve but I have not further investigated. The CPU monitor 
indicates it is running (not frozen).

I have experimented with the host (Hardy) video options with no affect.

I have also experimented with the virtualbox settings for the graphics 
adapter which does not solve the problem.  Vbox setup states "all 
devices working properly".  I am at a loss for where to look. Are there 
vbox archives I should know about?

Thanks in advance for any leads or help ...
