3D DX10 test - Parallels / VMware Fusion

[mksaccount01]

Try to run this test either alone or part of the main suite, and it hangs on a black screen. Neither Parallels or Fusion supports DX10, so shouldn't this test just be skipped? It's a pain to have to run all tests individually.

Also is this test now needed for a composite score? I had some results back when running Alpha test for Passmark7 and it would at least give me a total score when running the other 3D tests.

Detection of DirectX 10 is perfomed. And there is an error message if DX10 is not available. Like on XP and many older video cards.

I can only assume the Mac vitual machines are not behaving the same as a physical Windows machine. We haven't done any testing on Mac VMs.

But you can get a PassMark rating without the DX10 test being run.
