    1111The error message during the Guest installation said that DirectX was incomplete or corrupted and the details said for both d3d9.dll and msd3d9.dll, that "the vendor is not the Microsoft Co-operation".

    13 Googling it, it said that they belong to DirectX-9 and after downloading and installing DirectX from Microsoft the install error disappeared, but the problem remained. The same happened with Windows Vista.

    15 I moved for the Host from Ubuntu 19.04 to Ubuntu 19.10 and thus from Linux 5.0 to Linux 5.3. At the same time I had to move from Virtualbox 6.0.12 to Virtualbox 6.0.14, because of the 6.0.14 support for Linux 5.3. The problems with the 3D garbling appeared after those changes. So I have the sloppy tendency to blame everything on the VBox changes I needed after the upgrade to Linux 5.3.
     15Remember my remark from 3 weeks ago: "The remaining problem is that I can't use Aero mode (transparency of windows title bar and start menu bar), because the windows performance measurement from the control panel failed with the following messages: c:\Windows\System32\VBoxDispD3D.dll is not designed to run on windows or contains an error".

So on one hand I have the sloppy tendency to blame everything on the VBox changes I needed after the upgrade to Linux 5.3. On the other hand it seems that we already had a problem probably related to DirectX-9 three weeks ago.

     19I expected that say during the upgrades needed to go from Linux 5.0 to 5.1 to 5.2 to 5.3, somebody accidentality introduced some issues related to a difference between Microsoft DirectX-9 interfaces and its VBox replacements/adaptations. Remember I did run those VMs with 3D acceleration without having DirectX-9 installed for many years. There is also a problem between Virtualbox dll's and DirectX dll's, which has been detected by an improved installer for 6.1.0. That installer, that does not give me a choice anymore, which versions of 3D acceleration I want.
