Lancing Posted May 19, 2003 Share Posted May 19, 2003 Is there any way to get away from the 8-bit colors when using VMware? I know there aren't any tools to install for Longhorn but I'm not sure if there's still a way to fix it. If you know of any other virtual machine programs like VMware that are better, that would be a great help too. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murr Posted May 19, 2003 Share Posted May 19, 2003 did you install vmware tools? after you startup your vmware workstation choose file and Install VMWare Tools... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancing Posted May 19, 2003 Author Share Posted May 19, 2003 I did, and since Longhorn is new, I selected Other when i installed the guest operating system. You cannot install the tools when you select the 'Other' operating system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NXPdev Posted May 21, 2003 Share Posted May 21, 2003 You don't have to choose "Other" - when they didn't have an option for Windows Server 2003, I just used "Windows 2000 Server" and it worked. I would suggest choosing Windows XP Professional as the OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
