During the installation of

During the installation of moka5 Tools, was there a Warning about Windows File Protection?

When running dxdiag, the DirectX Files should have a yellow! for d3dthk.dll since the moka5 tools install this with 229376 bytes in size. The original Windows verison is 8192.

We've observed that at times, the d3dthk.dll may not install.

You can try running the moka5 guest tools again.

One down, one to go

Mucking around reinstalling the tools a few times yielded a good result and now the moka5 version of d3d8thk.dll, however now whenever i go into dxdiag it causes a BSOD in

*** m5gdrv.sys - Address F914568E base at F9154000 DateStamp 467fdc1d

Service Pack 2...

Service Pack 2...

I forgot i hadn't yet installed SP2 on the VM. After installing SP2, and reinstalling moka5tools i now no longer get BSOD's, however only DirectX 8 works, 9 gives Test failed at step 5 (GetDeviceCaps): HRESULT = 0x8876086a (3D not available).

7 of course also fails, saying out of memory, but i believe that is normal...

Ah, bug if testing 8 beforehand? Skipping 8 makes 9 work fine.

enable vmware 3d interface

if we add mks.enable3d = "TRUE" into the file *.vmx, I can pass the directx 7 test. that is interesting

however I got a new error from the game I am playing. the error says: dwSurfaceHandle has exception bla bla,,

any comments/suggestions on vmware 3d interface and moka5 3D features, please let me know

Many thanks
