VietBallin07 Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 hi i am able to boot up the iso in VMware but, the color looks like 8bit or 16bit color, how do i change this to 32bit. i last time i tried to use VMware on the old longhorn builds the same thing happened so i stop doing it but i now i want to try this. how can i change the color mode or whatever it is? because its kinda hard to read the words in the installation screens.

Matt A. Tobin Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 if you can get the iso to install... wait till it does then install vmtools (the drivers that allows the thing to show in its full glory) before you hit a fully installed windows desktop u will have to live with 16 colors :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried all the tricks presented in the Forum here, but none work. And I just assume that none of the transparency effects are working with the vmware video driver, unless somebody proofs me wrong (I'd be happy to hear about it).

It is not working even when I force it on with the VistaTweak thing. It's checked on but won't display. No difference. Off to find a spare PC that I can install this on now.
