Virtual Box on Microsoft Surface Pro

Post by wws »

I have a Microsoft Surface Pro 3 and am trying to run Virtual Box. I use WiDI to connect remotely to my monitor / projector. Last evening, I installed virtualbox on my surface pro. However, in doing so, WiDi stopped functioning until I removed the VirtualBox software. Is this a configuration issue with VirtualBox or a bug in the VirtualBox software that prevent WiDi from working on the Surface Pro 3?

None of the above. If anything it's a bug in Windows 8.

Google for MaxNumFilters.

I looked for the maxNumFilters. Unfortunately, this is something that was fixed for 8.1, which is what is on the surface pros.

It doesn't sound fixed. What value was yours set to in the registry?
