Direct3D on Win2k3 Server
Hello,
When I install 5.6 I do not see Direct3D support for the DisplayLink device in dxDiag. I thought I remembered something about needing to install in Safe Mode for this to work (does that still apply?) so I tried this but I get a message after agreeing to the license terms that the Administrator has restricted this installation from running in Safe Mode. Do I need to run the install in Safe Mode to get Direct3D enabled, and if so is there a link you can provide to getting Win2k3 to allow the installer to run? Thanks, Devan |

Sorry if I'm being impatient but it has been a week without a response. I know there is a known issue with server 2k8 that you are planning to patch in March. Can you provide insight as to whether or not this is the same issue?
Thanks, Devan |

Hi Pawel,
Thanks for the response. I was really hoping I had found away around my need for support in VM (which the more I look in to the more I understand why you do not). Is there any chance you have plans to support direct3D Windows Server 2011? Thanks, Devan |

I presume you mean Windows Multipoint Server 2011? ? This is built on the Windows 7 core. It does support Direct3D however there may be issues with some direct X applications running within RDP sessions. There also may be some performance issues. The general MS recommendation is to try it and see.
