Yes it is try it on a real PC

Hi,

I got the same problem with VMWare, just resolved it with a small AutoIt script which checks if the resolution change was successful. It checks various resolutions, refreshrates and colordepth.

You can remove those you'll never need easily

screen.au3

Hi,

I'm using VMWare too.

My problem is not only the display (screen) problem but also cursor/mouse problem.

I explain:

I'm using RogueSpear "Switchless Silent Installers" for VMWare 5.5. The point of this installer (VBS script) is that it will NOT run the installer unless the "computer" is a VMware machine. So, in fact it install the VMWare, but it NOT effective working UNTL the next reboot. Then I've a disply 600x400 and NO cursor control by mouse (the cursor stay fix).

As I'm WPI user, I'll NOT have the automatic install if i've to rebbot.

1) Do yr screen.au3 resolve the display prroblem??? If so, do it will replace the WPI line prog

REM Force resolution to needed size for wpi interface.
start %CDROM%\install\WPI\Tools\VideoChanger.exe 1024x768x32@60 -q

2) Do you have cursor/mouse control working??? If so, what you did for that?

TNX for yr help
