Guest Operating System Installation Guide

VMware Tools

Be sure to install VMware Tools in your guest operating system. For details, see the

manual for your VMware product or follow the appropriate link in the knowledge base

article at www.vmware.com/support/kb/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=340.

After you install VMware Tools, you need to change your Windows 2000 screen area to

be greater than 640x480 pixels; if you do not change it, Windows 2000 uses the

standard VGA driver, and your performance will suffer.

Enabling Sound in a Windows 2000 Guest

VMware GSX Server: The sound device is disabled by default and must be enabled

with the virtual machine control panel (VM > Settings) after the operating system has

been installed. To set up the virtual machine to play sound, see Configuring Sound in

the GSX Server documentation.

Known Issues

Guest Screen Saver

VMware Workstation: On a Linux host with an XFree86 3.x X server, it is best not to

run a screen saver in the guest operating system. Guest screen savers that demand a

lot of processing power can cause the X server on the host to freeze.

Service Pack 3

A Windows 2000 guest with Service Pack 3 installed may fail to boot. A dialog box

appears, saying “The Logon User Interface DLL msgina.dll failed to load.”

VMware Workstation or VMware GSX Server: For a workaround to this problem,

see the VMware Knowledge Base: www.vmware.com/support/kb/enduser/

std_adp.php?p_faqid=907.

VMware ESX Server: You can resolve this problem by installing Service Pack 4.

If you do not want to upgrade to Service Pack 4, you can work around the problem. Be

sure the virtual machine is not running, then use a text editor to add the following line

to the virtual machine's configuration file:

MAGICBOOT1 = 700

If a value of 700 (representing 700 microseconds) does not enable you to start the

guest operating system, experiment with higher values. Increase the number to 800

for the second try, 900 for the third try and so on until the guest starts.

If you are booting multiple virtual machines or running other stressful workloads at

the same time, you may need to assign a higher magicboot1 value. For faster boot
