apologies, now sorted, wen't through the motherboard bios again and there was a separate enable Vt-d tab for the GPU, had to set to OVMF and it all started fine.
one thing i'm having trouble with is connecting with openelec using the yatse app on my phone, i have everything turned on in kodi, however i keep getting unable to connect when adding the details into the app. anyone else had issues with it?
i notice that the gateway and primary DNS are now different, does running the VM give it its own range of IP addresses? i like to use fixed IP's on all my openelec clients, so usually i just change it to manual from within the OE gui.
apologies if these are stupid questions its my first time using a VM.
