GPUShark reports the same result for 3D accelleration on and off - I guess it is because the standard VGA driver, that is build-in in ReactOS, doesn't use 3D acceleration: VMWare Player (I used VMWare Player version 12.5.9) provides only the build-in VGA compatible virtual graphic card, the only option is to switch the 3D accelleration on or off. The first and easier tool is GPUShark by Jerome Guinot. I found just two tools to check the OpenGL capabilities, that were able to run on ReactOS (that authenticates itself as an outdated Window version). Unfortunately, these tools regularly assume a top modern and well maintained Windows installation - because they are mainly aimed at gamers. There are a lot of tools to check the OpenGL capabilities of a running Windows installation. OpenGL Support with build-in Video Drivers My favorite virtual machines are Oracle VirtualBox and VMWare Player - both are free for private use. In addition, the ReactOS homepage also advises against the productive use of ReactOS. Since I am almost exclusively working with MS Windows in my job and don't want to deal with different hardware, the only way I can think of is to run ReactOS in a virtual machine. (I go back from my fovoutite programming language C# to my roots - namely C/C++, because the native OpenGL API is written in C and I want to avoid any possible side effect.) With this tip, I would like to introduce how to compile and run a first very simple C/C++ OpenGL application at a current ReactOS version. Details how to set up ReactOS, how to avoid pitfalls/minimize the trouble installing C# and how get C# running can be found within the tip Introduction to C# on ReactOS. My preferred language is C# - so my first closer look at ReactOS was to investigate whether C# runs on ReactOS. I have been watching the development of React OS for some time. May be, the most important reason is a lack of attention. Even if the first version of ReactOS dates back to 1998, there is still no 'stable' version of ReactOS. ReactOS is an open source alternative to the Windows operation system. Selection of the Development Environment.
