You're welcome to post back about any further issues ("loose ends" ) you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrzycrim Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 You might still have a problem from within vmware. See this thread:http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=23429&st=20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ringfinger69 Posted August 12, 2004 Author Share Posted August 12, 2004 Sky frog,I belive it's where windows ask you for the very first time to adjust your screen settings....so it just adjusts it automatically. Someone correct me if I am wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 Yes, that's where it is. But it sets the screen-res to 800x600 by default, and then asks you for permission if that was okay with you (if non-automated). If you had set the display settings in winnt.sif, (as above) it will automatically set the res. without prompting.Now, there's a third point of problem, where the desired res. won't be set, and you'll login at 640x480 - that's when windows can't find the drivers for your display.So, if your display drivers are integrated (OEMpnpDrvrsPath method), and you used all of the below entries, and you're sure your hardware can take the display setting you have specified in winnt.sif, you'll see it (screen resize) being done automatically without any prompting.[Display] XResolution=1024 YResolution=768 BitsPerPel=16 VRefresh=60 AutoConfirm=1 ConfigureAtLogon=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
