Application does not start in XP

[kasch]

I tried to start the application using the link http://sweethome3d.sourceforge.net/SweetHome3D.jnlp.
I've got the message "Fail to create reference rasterizer 3D Device. - D3DERR_NOTAVAILABLE". Afterwards
the application has been closed.

Second test:
I downloaded the software and installed it - successful.
I tried to start it and I got the same message.

Is this problem known? Is a workaround available? Same problem as reported (ID 1811441)?
if so, then the priority should be changed to a higher one.

Operating system: Windows XP 2002 SP2
Computer: AMD Athlon 64 3000+ 1,8GHz, 1GB RAM

Solution found.

Hardware acceleration was set too low.
With full hardware acceleration it is possible to start this application.

howto:
Display Poperties -> Settings -> Advanced -> Troubleshoot -> push the slider to right hand side

This is an important issue, that miserably can't be resolved by myself because it's due to Java 3D.
Please see : https://java3d.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=526

Once I will be able to detect that Java 3D can't run, I'll display a message with your solution instead of letting Sweet Home 3D crash, but that's the best I'll be able to do.

Anyway thank you for the hardware acceleration tip.
