3D error ?!

[MK!]

Hello,

I'm Matej Kolari? (all my friends call me MK), I'm from Slovenia, and I'm runing Linux Ubuntu 9.04 and Windows 2000 Pro in VB 3.0.6...

now i tried to run game "Star Wars Episode 1 racer" on windows 2k, but i failed. all what i get is error (no 3D hardware found)

I have installed guest additions and directx 9.0c ...

can anyone help???

btw: i' sorry for writing, but i don't speak english very good

Please help me, i would be very glad

Run dxdiag and check if you do in fact have DX available. If you don't have that test available, it means you don't have it. In that case you need to do two things. Enable 3D in the VM settings and install the GA in safe mode. If the same doesn't work after that, it's just something that will never work, the game might demand too much. Also, you can't really expect top notch performance. It might be better to run the game on the Host directly, either with Windows (as dual boot) or through Wine.

thank you,

i know about playing games in vb... but game's size is just 100MB and it need just 64MB of RAM...

i ran dxdaig.exe from &systemroot&\system32\ and result of test Direct3D is:

Code: Select all

Direct3D 7 test results: Failure at step 8 (Creating 3D Device): HRESULT = 0x8007000e (Out of memory)
Direct3D 8 test results: The tests were cancelled before completing.
Direct3D 9 test results: The tests were cancelled before completing.

if you'll ask me why did i cancel testing for 8 and 9, because if i run it, program crash

so, i'll try to do like you said...

btw: i'll format disc, and reinstal windows 2k pro, i'll instal directx and then i'll instal guest additions in windows safe mode...
should this theory work?

thank you,

Don't install DX, the GA provides that.

Don't install DX, the GA provides that.

so i have to install just DX in safe mode, and wala ??

No, install the GA in safe mode.

You registered only to ask that question? You have a clear warning when you created your post, it said to read the Forum Posting Guide, which states that you should read the manual, search the forums and most of all, check the VirtualBox FAQ to see if your question has been asked since the beginning of time.

When you install the GA normal boot, Windows will restore the files again. Safe mode install was all that was needed. If you happen to have an XP license, try that.
