I'm having trouble getting DirectX working on a Windows 7 laptop hosting a Windows XP guest. DirectX is installed on the laptop and, according to dxdiag, it is up and running. I installed DirectX on the VM, made modifications to the vmx file to enable it but dxdiag says that DirectDraw, Direct3D and AGP Texture Acceleration are not available. However, when click on the Test DirectDraw button, the test runs to a successful completion.
The host is a Lenovo T61p with an NVIDIA Quadro FX 570M in it. Dxdiag says that DirectX 11 is installed and that DirectDraw, Direct3D and Texture are all enabled.
The guest says that the display is a VMWare SVGA II, It says that Direct3D is not available and to check the driver. The vmx has these lines in it:
mks.enable3d = TRUE
svga.vramsize = 67108864
What drivers should I have and where can I get them? Are there other settings I should have?
