Windows Forum / Virtual PC / March 2008Video: No Video error, with gaming
Hello, I am getting the following error while attempting to run WarPath (http://www.skillground.com) inside Virtual PC 2007, running XP inside of Vista. Other games are having difficulty starting as well. We need to do this, to test software across multiple operation systems. Can anyone help to make this work? ------------ WP Build [2007.06.18] OS: Windows XP 5.1 (Build: 2600) CPU: GenuineIntel Unknown processor @ 2108 MHz with 999MB RAM Video: No Video GetDeviceCaps failed(D3DERR_NOTAVAILABLE) on adapter 0. History: GetDeviceCaps <- UD3DRenderDevice::Init <- UGameEngine::PostInit <- InitEngine Last Read: ../Textures/Core_Others_1.utx 25521+1/76426 ------------ Thank you, Martin Virtual PC's video card doesn't support D3d.

This night it went into me -trying to install Win98 on a VM2007 with XP as a host - that, a VM is not fast enough running games -even if not restricted by the other mentioned . My intention was to use it for Acad14, which will not run properly on my XP machine -since installed sp2 and raised PC-memory. I got my 22" LCD spoiled. It will not take up full screen in horisontal direction anymore. I'm finished working with virtuel machines!. Installing it doesn´t work right too. At the present stage of the art, virtuel machines is nothing more than toys. --sen >> The XP virtual machine does not use the hardware in the physical >> computer.

Sen: I am not into gaming, but for most other purposes virtual machines run very well. I have a 22 inch monitor (1680x1050) also. I run all my VM's in full screen mode at 1600x1024 resolution and they work fine. You can hardly tell that you are not using the whole display.

You can hardly > tell that you are not using the whole display. I´m using a Fjitsu/Siemens with 2 channels, the one coupled to my XP, the other coupled to my Vista. This share has worked without problems in about one year. The solution is always set to 1680x1050. When leaveded the experiments to night with the Vmachine, went right to the Vista to look the NewsGroup. Starting the Vista the screen showed up with about a 2 inch wide horizontal shrinkage. The Auto creen-corection wont work anymore, and I can´t manually ajust it. Has lowered the solution to 1360x768 to get a full sceen. Aware of, this breakdown could be a time coincidence related to something else. -Have my doubt!. --sen According to the system requirements at http://www1.skillground.com/help/installing.html#4 you will not be able to play in a virtual machine because the game requires a 3D graphics card. The S3Trio emulated graphics card provided by VPC is only a 2D card. The graphics card on the host is not used by the game when it is running in a guest. >>> This night it went into me -trying to install Win98 on a VM2007 >>> with XP as a host - that, a VM is not fast enough running games [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] > -Have my doubt!. > --sen > Hello, I am getting the following error while attempting to run WarPath > (http://www.skillground.com) inside Virtual PC 2007, running XP inside of [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > Thank you, > Martin this isn't a solution but, i'm also having this kind of problem im running on a vista and im trying to play splinter cell pandora tomorrow and it displays this message: GetDeviceCaps failed(D3DERR_NOTAVAILABLE) on adapter 0.
