Virtual Pc/machine Is Some Powerful Shit

No, if you only have 25 left in the host, reduce it in the guest. A lot!

You can't install your video drivers in the guest cause it uses something like an 8 meg ati rage pro. It's an emulated video card, not your video card.

You must have set something wrong in the hotkeys or options. Usually XP will resize itself on the first boot and all you do is go to view/ full screen. after that, if it's setup right, use the blue "[X]" at the top of VMware to get full screen.

omg this is terrible...

I've reduced my video to like 16 bit colors and 800X600, this is the min setting reachable

and also i've reduced the max reserverd mem to 252 MB and 236 MB to my win2k3 system

I dont know what else to do except every time i press full screen the window gets shut off and my mouse wouldn't move...

lol, ok well, reinstall that one and learn from it. server 2k3 does NOT like any additional drivers so if you even tried, it'll be screwed.

mmm well i think i found a way around it...

I used the quick switch mode and got my res back to 1024X768, still have to scroll a bit but it beats looking at a little window at 800X600...

oh well, I am running the win2k3 for the sole purpose so that I could run the stupid remote desktop thing.

time wasted but learned something...



by the way do you know what ports do I need to forward in my router to make remote desktop work???

damn thing doesn't work..
