I installed vmware and windows 2000, then installed the vmware tools. This automatically changed my display settings to 32 bit color, but left the resolution in 640x480. I went to the settings tab and saw it would allow me to change the resolution to several settings up to my display's maximum supported resolution; I chose 1024x768 and it went to the resolution but hosed things up so that my vmware screen went blank and whenever I move the cursor, it repaints the screen behind it such that the entire desktop is shifted to the right like half a screen. I rebooted vmware, thinking windows was just freaking out because it's windows, but it is still doing it. Have you (or anyone) ever seen anything like this, and can you tell me how to fix it? Thanks very much....
