Truespace in xp Virtual PC

Post by lothissen »

Tried this today but the workspace window won't render. Has anyone else tried it/ got it to work?

Virtual PC doesnt emulate a DX9 3d video card, so workspace wont work.

You could try the newest Virtual Box from Sun, which I believe has 3d card emulation.

even if that work, virtual pc is a very bad idea to work with 3d software. xp mode similate a video card trio (the speed of a ten year old card). For those who thing to use Truespace for a few years, don't forget to keep your old pc with XP because i am not sure if TS will be alive after e few updates of seven and hardware.

Marcel is right. I tried Virtual PC and Truespace wouldn't work. Also, I came across a link where Microsoft has indicated that it may not support XP mode for any extended time after this. I look around to see if there was a way to emulate hardware that a program may need and didn't find any. Your best bet may be Sun or another third party vendor that does offer that type of support.
