Playing warcraft on windows xp guest

Post by fernandoc1 »

I'm trying to play warcraft III on a windows xp 32bit guest, but when I try to start the game it says that warcraft was unable to initialize Directx. What should I do to solve this issue?
I'm using, as host system, windows xp 64bit sp2.

Is there any way to emulate the direct 3d using opengl?
