Direct RT 2010 on Mac Problems

[patrickvargas]

i get the same error messages as Stephen, but I'm running DRT off of a server (Win7, 64bit) and accessing it via VPN and MS Remote Desktop Connection for mac. Screen captures attached.

Remote Desktop seems to require fixed screen resolutions, more screen captures attached.

Help?

Yeah, I'm getting these errors on one of our old ThinkPads--at T40. I get a color depth error and then the verdana font error. Starnge. I'd like to compare dxdiag.txt files to see if they have anything in common. Can you attach one?

I've just attached the dxdia.txt file (and screen captures of the images) from this old T40 thinkpad. One thing I noticed first off was an unusal quantity of unknown or missing information regarding DirectX:
