Need 32 MB Video memory

Hi,

i try to run an application in Virtual PC that needs at
least 32 MB Memory on the Video "Card".

Is there another driver i can use as Video Emulator when
using Virtual PC 2004?

Or is there a way to change the amount of video memory,
that can be used in the virtual machine?

Thanks

Erika Pimmer-Schniedermeier

There's really no way to do this, VPC only emulates a specific set of
hardware and that cannot be changed.

Hi,

the application we will use is a self-developed Route-Map for Airplanes.
It is uses OpenGL 1.4 and normaly it requires 64 MB of Video Memory or at
least 32 MB.

So, it would have been a good feauture, if i could have changed thge amount
of video Memory for the guest OS. But if theres no way.. - i have to accept
it.

Anyway, Thank for your help

hi erika, hallo erika,

you might try to edit the *.vmc file of your virtual
machine by hand, which is XML code (hopefully the
example give below will readable after sending ...

<video_adapter>
<vram_size type="integer">32</vram_size>
</video_adapter>

Thank you, isn't it funny to meet german people in an english speaking
newsgroup? Ich wohne am Bodensee.

I tried your advice, and i entered 32 in the video section, but the virtual
machine said ist has 16 MB of virtual Memery. So i tried 64, but it still
says 16 MB. So it seems that you can't have more than 16 MB in the virtual
machine.
Unfortunatly, i don't know how to check if the virtual machine is faster
with the 16 MB of video memory, but my application runs - so its ok with me.
