(This is sort of a "when it still fails"-solution, sorry) Try to install vmware again, or rerun vmware-configuration.pl (or what ever it was called). I installed the same version this wekend, vmware-tools installed as it should just by "activating" the install option in the menu. Btw, you are sure that the tools are not installed? I recall from version 2 that it claimed that the tools was not installed but they were (and they worked). There is a vmware log somewhere, I have no idea whatever whatever the "tools install" produces some output there but you can always check. Hmm, just a thought; Are you running the "guest OS" package or are you installing from a real w2k CD? I did the later as I don't have the "guest package" Good luck! // Emil > Yes vmwaretools are included in the program but not inside the guest OS. > > Cheers, > HÖ > > -- > ~~~~ <http://www.sacred-eagle.com/> ~~~~ > ~~~~~~ Gnupg signature ID 83AC4814 ~~~~~ > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Name: signature.asc > signature.asc Type: application/pgp-signature > Description: This is a digitally signed message part -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
