NO Overlay Support-Vineyard Technologies, Inc. Fatal Error

Post by whidbeyben »

I would like to use Pcviewer, a program used by Lorex video surveillance hard drive recorders to play video streams from their hard drives. This works under Boot Camp, so the hardware in my i7 MacBook Pro is up to the task, but when I try running this in Virtual Box, I get the following error dialog box:

NO Overlay Support-Vineyard Technologies, Inc. - Fatal Error Occurred. Your graphic device does not support overlay. Class: CJHDirectDrawSurface7Primary

I'm hoping someone familiar with the graphics emulations used in Virtual Box can pinpoint the problem with this bug and patch it, since it would be nice to not reboot into Boot Camp to use Pcviewer. So far, everything else I need runs OK in Virtual Box with XP Pro, SP3. (I'm using MacOS 10.6.3, and tried installing the Boot Camp drivers into my Virtual Box Machine, but no change in this bug).

Install the guest additions (in the guest) in safe mode.
If it is going to work that is the only way to do so.
