Only Vmware 6.5\Vmware Player support Direct3D VirtualBox supports OpenGL. That's it for virtualization solutions that support 3D Acceleration on PC.

If it's Vista then it's probably a permissions issue, so: 1. Run DOSBox as an administrator (not recommended). OR 2. Copy DOSBox folder and game to profile OR 3. Modify permissions on game/DOSBox folder. By default you cannot write to any directory on Vista unless it's your profile. (Unless you run …
