I cannot seem to get it working. I do realize that it is only 'offically' supported in XP and Vista, however 2k3 is not much different from XP drive wise. I have enabled everything from http://www.msfn.org/win2k3/hardwareacc.htm and have confirmed that it works on real hardware before, however, they remain disabled.

Not sure if this is reported, resolved or what. The search terms never produced anything.

Any one else successfully enable direct3d in Server 2k3?

Thank you Stephan. That has worked. I was unaware that it needed to be installed in safe mode.
