Select Windows 2000 or XP guest operating system for the virtual machine. Note: Do not enable Direct3D for virtual machines that have been started or are suspended.
Add something to the configuration file (.vmx):
mks.enable3d = TRUE
This line will enable 3D acceleration for the host. Not only is it necessary for the boarder to support 3D acceleration, but it can also enable the host to enable 2D acceleration on the boarder's display area.
You may need to add the following lines:
= 67108864
This line increases the VRAM volume of the virtual graphics card to 64MB. Increasing VRAM helps reduce boarder delays. The maximum value is 128MB.
= FALSE
This line will disable the absolute positioning device in the boarding machine. Applications that require DirectInput relative mode need to turn off the absolute positioning device of the boarder. In practice, this is only for some full-screen 3D applications (e.g., real-time games like first-person shooting). Note: If you set the options, you also need to turn off the motion ungrabbing setting in the Input tab in the Preference Settings dialog box.
To release capture for closing, follow these steps:
a. Select Edit > Preferences.
