CCTV recording program Video Issue.

Message:

We are trying to run CCTV video management and recording software in VMs for
our sales reps.

I have created a VM in VPC 2007 (XP Pro) and loaded the CCTV software but
when I access a camera I get just a black screen.

After doing my research I see that the Adapter in the VM is a S3 Trio with 8M.

Here are the system requirements for CCTV software (I know they are vague
but its the best I have).

Operating system:
Windows XP Home/Windows XP Professional

CPU:
3.0 GHz Pentium IV or better

RAM:
256 MB or more

Graphics card:
NVIDIA GeForce 6600
NVIDIA Quadro FX 1400
ATI RADEON X600/X800
or better

Network adapter:
100 Mbit

Sound card:
recommended

Software:
DirectX 9.0c

Hard drive space:
(for installation)
120 MB

Am I just out of luck when it comes to using VPC for this software?

Thanks in advance,

Jeff

That's correct, assuming you have installed the Additions...

I would believe so... Apart from the CPU, which is virtualised, all other
devices inside a virtual machine are emulated and cannot be changed...
