Last Version of Programs for Windows NT 4.0

Guest Additions is a VirtualBox item.  Do we know if the OP is even trying in VirtualBox?  Or is the OP using something else?

I myself have an NT4 VirtualBox VM and zero issues.  I would have to pull it from my archives but my guess is that it is VirtualBox v4.x.y.

But...  that doesn't necessarily say anything at all about NT4 being able to be installed in v5.a.b or v6.c.d or v7.e.f.

So yeah, the OP should tell us what virtual machine software he is using, and also what version of that software.

I'm actually trying it in Virtualbox 7.2.6.

I am using 7.0.26 but upgrading would violate my "workflow process".
But what works in 7.0.26 should also work in 7.2.6.

My NT4 was installed under 4.3.28, as seen below.  Everything (audio and graphics) is working great for me.
I will update the Guest Additions to 7.0.26 and that should be the same as if it was installed under 7.0.26 (I'll screencap that shortly).

Everything still working fine after upgrading Guest Additions to 7.0.26.

Not for 3D and Vmware / Virtualbox has some 2D drivers.

You won't get 3D on NT 4.0 using Virtualization software cause developers haven't done that...if you need 3D,then use 86box or PCem...

Yeah, i already good it above, 3dfx cards would be probably the best, Matrox have some software driver and lots of ATI have OpenGL drivers only for Profesional line of cards.
On physical machine you can get OpenGL 2.0 with Geforce 6x00 cards and there is even Direct3D to OpenGL wrapper (only OpenGL 2.0)
