Cheryl, You need to wait a long time for that update if it is happening. You also need to properly shutdown windows and restart it I think. Is this I can't remember, a new copy of xpsp2?

However, I kept getting a message in the window all the way through saying vmware tools wasn't installed but I thought this was done automatically after installing the system. I also had trouble telling when the install from the cd was done; just when I thought it should be finished I'd hear the cdrom rev up again; there was no change in the window to tell me it was done though in the menus it appeared the virtual machine had powered on. I couldn't seem to do anything either with my bluetooth keyboard or my usb keyboard to bring up narrator; nputting in the windoweyes cd made the cdrom drive start up but nothing else heppened even when I tried to figure out the command to get to the path for the setup. I can read the window with menu items like j"sound" and cd/dvd an other things in the window with vo and of course I can read the fusion menus with vo but I don't think anything i'm doing with the keyboard is activating anything within Windows itself. I must be missing some steps here but from what I can find in the "getting started" guide, I don't know what I'm missing. Oh, when I went into the menus and tried to update vmware tools (it said update rather than install in the menus) nothing happened and when I'd go back to the menus the item would be changed to "cancel install of vmware tools" so obviously my attempt was recognized but no resulting update occurred. -- Cheryl "Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."
