After waiting a lomng time for shader 3 support I am looking for a way to turn it off or have workstation report shader 2 support only to an XP guest
I run a linux host and have been using Workstation to run several guests, but mostly a Win XP with my "windows only" software. One of these programs is Altium Designer, an electronic CAD, package that leverages Direct 9, shader level 3 for extended features including a 3D mode. When I tried this I found the software to be virtually unusable even not using the extended capabilities. Unfortunately with it all I have is a setting to use Direct X or not, and I do want some of the other features it leverages direct X for so I am looking for a way to report shader 2 support.
Is this possible or do I have to go back to Workstation 6.5.3 which runs flawlessly and provides a very responsive system for this program but lacks shader 3 support?
