Hi everyone,
I have Linux mint 18.1 installed in Oracle Virtualbox.
But it's running very slow !!
During installation, this message appeared:
"Running in software rendering mode ..."
See the attachments : message.jpg , Virtualbox_settings.jpg
These are my computer specs:
Acer : Model Aspire XC-105 (P0)
OS : Windows 10 Home 64-bit
CPU : AMD A4-5000 1.50 GHz
Graphics : ATI AMD Radeon HD 7000 series 2048 MB 12,8 GB/s
Driver version 15.200.1062.1004
RAM : 8,00GB Single-Channel DDR3 @ 798MHz (11-11-12-28)
But sorry, I'm totally ignorant about Linux.
This is my first acquaintance with this OS and a first attempt to install Linux Mint correctly in a virtual machine.
The info in the link you provided seems to solve the problem but yet sounds a bit like chinese to me !
...
Step I
I performed the command line successful in a terminal window
Step 2
..." then install the Guest Additions provided with VirtualBox by clicking Devices > Insert Guest Additions CD Image..."

OK, adjustments made.
Have even done a complete new installation.
Restarted after initial adjustment.
Second adjustment completed + restart.
Unfortunately, the result is the same as before.
Despite everything being done correctly, I did not succeed.
Because I was really irritated and the Linux Guest did not perform well (on my system), I finally removed "Oracle VM Virtualbox" and installed "VMware Workstation 12 Player".
Here I experienced some issues with copy/paste between host and guest and full screen usage. But after installing the VMware Tools, these inconveniences disappeared.
On my system, VMWare also performs better.
And so I can finally become familiar with Linux.
