> 4.0) and I have installed the latest version of DirectX from
> Microsoft's web site (the game requires DirectX 8.1). As most of us
> know, the graphics card that Virtual PC uses is an S3 Trio 32/64 PCI.
> According to DXDIAG, it uses 4.0 MB of video memory and I currently
> have the OS running at a resolution of 640 by 480 pixels with 32-bit
> enabled. However, when I try to start Soldat, it comes up with the
> following errors:
>
> "Error initializing 3D hardware. Your hardware does not support
> DirectX 8. Be sure to install the latest video drivers. Now software
> will be used..."

> Any ideas as to how I would go about fixing this? Should I install the
> virtual machine additions? Additionally, when my friend gets Virtual
> PC on his iBook, will I be able to set the program to use the .VHD file
> I already created as it is possible in the Microsoft version of Virtual
> PC?
