    Hello,

    I recently upgraded to Parallels 7 and created a new VM using an existing bootcamp partition.
    After enabling 3D acceleration in the VM settings as well as installing the Parallels Tools, I still can't get the Direct3D acceleration working (DxDiag shows Direct3D as "Not Available")

    Below are the host and guest configuration:

    Host Configuration:
    Macbook Air 13inch (Mid 2011)
    Intel Core i7 1.8GHz
    4GB Ram
    Intel HD 3000
    Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2

    VM configuration:
    2 CPUs
    1.5GB RAM
    Windows 7 64bit SP1

    Any help appreciated ! Let me know if I need to post more info about the Host or VM.

    Regards
