Hi, Tried installing and playing Resident Evil 1 on Vmware 17 with Win 98SE, but was getting the below error. Tried all the available graphics options under setup but to no avail. RE error

Thanks.

Hello!! I'm facing the same error! @winspool @Torinde @JHRobotics any findings here? I created the VM in VMware 17 without the 3d acceleration since the program mentioned it doesn't support it for Windows 98SE. Everything looks good with other modern games. But when installing Resident Evil 1, DirectX 3.0a is installed. Sadly when running the game, a message appears with the label: Failed to initialize the Graphic Hardware Device. (3).

Please try to respond.

Thanks. Roberto
