DW in XP Mode

Delareon · 04-23-12, 09:04 AM

Hi,

has anybody tried to run DW using Windows Virtual PC and XP Mode?
i get an error about the graphics display cant be initialized.

The reason why i want to run DW in a virtual machine is that i want to use speech recognition. Which is not possible in Windows 7 (German).

Windows Virtual PC looks like an simple way to get XP virtual, because i dont want to invest that many time just to play DW.....
But without Voice Commands DW is not playable for me.

Ok i found out that XP Mode has no 3D Support.....

Has anybody experience with somekind of VMWare for Windows?
what i need is something as easy to install as possible, only DW has to run inside of that VM nothing more.

Hi pal
tried sh3 at vmware. totally i have 16gb ram at my rig and i gave 12gb to virtual machine. The prob is that it use its one video card ( vmware svga ii) and at stock game with no addons and the game freezing time to time. So am thinking to try other virtual machine.

cheers

I've the same issue (Windows 7 German). It's really ridiculous that Microsoft wants >100 Euro for the anytime upgrade from professional to ultimate!

But why is DW without Voice Command for you not playable?

since i started playing DW i used voice commands. Its just immersion but i need to say "make turns for 4 knots" when i want to change speed, that clicking doesnt feel right for me somehow. This gave me somekind of Captains feeling.
