APPLIES TO


 * Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 Standard Edition

-







SYMPTOMS
You cannot run some Microsoft Direct3D programs on a virtual machine image in Virtual Server 2005.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs because virtual machine images in Virtual Server 2005 emulate the S3 32/64 PCI video adapter. The S3 32/64 PCI Video card supports Microsoft DirectX and Microsoft Direct Draw, but it does not support Direct3D.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
