It's strange - for the first glance it
must work.
Would you please to check if forcing of
renderer name works if you try to do it
later in JavaScript code (e.g.
CortonaX.RendererName="DirectX Renderer")
Also please look at the Cortona console -
if the Renderer loading fails there
must be debug message.
Also it would be great if you'll give us
a reference to your HTML (or send it to
us) - it'll be much easier to understand
what is the problem.

The reason is rather bad :((( - for
instance, NT doesn't support DirectX at
all so if you'll try to force Direct on
NT machine there can be serious
problems. Also some video cards have
limited and buggy support of HW
acceleration - in best case Direct or GL
will works in software mode (performance
and quality are usually worse than R98
renderer), in worst case computer will
just crash...
