Yes it is the vmware issue vmware does not support winnt.sif video settings.

Yes it is the vmware issue vmware does not support winnt.sif video settings.

Even in "real install" you need your video card drivers to be install

[bobthenob]

hi thanks

well lets burn the dvd and test it i have my graphic card drivers on my unatended cd

thanks again

[cluberti]

Yes - unless your video drivers are installed (via the OemPnpDriversPath and $OEM$ method) during the Windows installation, or your video card's drivers are included in the Windows drivers, you will get a 640x480 screen no matter what resolution you set. It has nothing to do with VMWare (start installing the VMWare tools, then copy the drivers off of the virtual CD it creates to put these into your own CD - I do this with great success).

The graphic setting for vmware works fine for me !

I set the resolution to 800x600 in winnt.sif and that works...

I have version 5.5, but when I install the vmware tools the resolution goes down to 640x480 after reboot and then I have to manually adjust the resolution..

that means it DOESNT work , even with no display settings in winnt.sif u can manualy adjust resolution.

Had the same problem, but only in VM. So no prob. In "real life" it works just fine. Edited January 5, 2006 by jonathan_314
