You cannot run Direct3D programs on a virtual machine image in Virtual Server 2005 (867588)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Virtual Server 2005

SYMPTOMS

You cannot run some Microsoft Direct3D programs on a virtual machine image in Virtual Server 2005.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs because virtual machine images in Virtual Server 2005 emulate the S3 32/64 PCI video adapter. The S3 32/64 PCI Video card supports Microsoft DirectX and Microsoft Direct Draw, but it does not support Direct3D.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
