No, VPC emulates an S3 trio. There's no VM solution that virtualizes a
video card.

Not in VPC. The only way to do it is via Remote Desktop.
VM Ware's added DirectX and 3D support and Aero is not available there
yet, either.

Afraid so. The only work-around is the Remote Desktop method, and
that is somewhat hit and miss. It's not 100% guaranteed, sometimes it
just doesn't work.
