Windows 8.1 Display Problems

Post by bob53050 »

Hello All,

I am running 4.3.16 on a Windows 8.1 Host computer and in this particular VM, I have installed Windows 8.1 and I can't seem to get past the display issues:

When I have the 3D graphics support checked and then start the VM, I can see part of the start screen but not the entire area (double buffering issue perhaps) and when the Start screen clears for the login screen, I can see a different color but not the window text and controls for logging in.

If I disable the 3D support checkbox and start the VM, I can see more of the Windows text and controls but I need to shift windows/dialogs in order to make out the text or controls.

Thanks in advance for any help,

Bob
