I'm running a virtual windows 11 machine on my i9 2019 macbook pro (AMD Radeon Pro 5500M). In the ViritualBox VM display settings I have an option for 3D acceleration, but when I check that, my virtual machine aborts on every boot. When I disable it, I can get my virtual machine to boot and I can open Colour Space, but Colour Space crashes when I open the profiling window.

My questions is 1) Will Colour space run on a Macbook pro with an AMD gfx card? 2)
2) Is the 3D checkbox the culprit causing Colour Space to crash?

As per the website, only Parallels and VMware Fusion are recommended.
Other VMs are basic emulations, and do not provide a full Windows environment.
(A quick Google shows a lot of Windows programs will not run under VirtualBox VM.)

Edit to add: It seems VirtualBox has very limited OpenGL support, so will never work with ColourSpace.
Search this forum for further information on OpenGL, and crashes when opening a Profiling window.

Steve,
Thank you for confirming for me that VirtualBox is a non-starter. I have been digging into the VirtualBox forums and have seen many of these posts regarding 3D acceleration not working. These emulation environments are new to me and the learning curve is steep. I will take this back to my IT department and see if we can get Parallels or VMware Fusion up on my machine.

Thank you,
