Hello,
On a Windows 7 x86 virtual machine, i have a problem when i launch my software.
First Windows error :
Window title : DirectX application
Message : Switching to the reference rasterizer, a software device that implement the entire Direct 3D feature set, but runs very slowly.
Next message :
Failed Creating the Direct3D device
Does someone knows how to solve this problem.
I've tried to set 3D acceleration on the VM but a black flashing screen appears then.
Thanks for your answers.

Re: DirectX problem with a software on Windows 7 x86 virtual machine
You'll probably at least need 3D acceleration running in the VM's video settings, and probably a uninstall/reboot/reinstall of the Guest Additions.
Note that turning 3D on in 7.0 may make the VM unstable. 7.0 had graphics upgrades and is still in bug-hunt phase over them.
Note also that even with 3D on and the VM running OK, the Direct3D requirements of the app may still no be met. Virtualbox is not a high-intensity-graphics-supporting app.

Thanks for your answer.
I supposed too that 3D was not extreme in VirtualBox.
I cant try all the purpose you made because i've got a hardware problem to solve before.
I'll try when it will be solved too.
Thanks for you skills.

Re: DirectX problem with a software on Windows 7 x86 virtual machine
There's no way to "update" DirectX in a Virtualbox VM. Just have the Guest Additions installed, and have 3D Acceleration enabled. That's the best DirectX will get for the version of Virtualbox installed. Try 7.0.14.
