Hi Rosie,
Did you enable 3D acceleration in your Fusion Virtual Machine?
To enable 3D acceleration, shut down (suspend doesn't count) the
virtual machine and go to Virtual Machine > Settings > System Hardware
> Display. Check the "Accelerate 3D graphics" option.
What is the name of the game that you are having trouble using in
Fusion?
A list of games known to work in Fusion can be found here:

Cheers,
Ronni

Hi Fellow List Members
Thank you to Peter H, Jude, Ronni, Adam & Peter C for your
suggestions and feedback, regarding my recent posting.
I have checked the specs, settings and preferences on VMWare,
Windows and the Mac, in an attempt to get to the bottom of the
problems I was having with running games in virtual Windows mode.
I did install the VMWare Installation Tools, as suggested, and
'tweaked' the settings in accordance with Ronni's feedback, and
while this assisted in being able to get a little further into some
of the games, it wasn't able to fully rectify the issue. There still
seems to be something conflicting, and it also causes in erratic
sound and graphics even in the games' introductory movies. (I've
checked Windows Media File, and this seems to be working okay, so
the conflict shouldn't be there).
Ronni also mentioned that when it comes to Windows games, Boot Camp
is very helpful. I am still running Tiger 10.4.11, and don't have
Boot Camp. Unfortunately there appears to be no way that I can get
BC until I install Leopard (Sometime in the distant future). I don't
know whether BC would have made a difference, as I couldn't test it.
I think, for the time being, I might just forget about Windows
games, and stick to my good old Mac games, which I know work ... and
they mostly work very well.
Again, however, thanks to you all for your support and the generous
sharing of your knowledge and expertise. It is very much appreciated.
Regards
Rosie
