The system may also appear not to respond to keystrokes. The result of this is that the screen may appear to go completely or partially blank because the screen saver cannot get enough processor time to draw on the display.

One problem that can happen on a Windows host is that if the virtual machine has a high scheduler priority and the guest operating system is busy, or you are running a guest operating system (such as Windows 3.1 or Novell server) that does not have a well behaved idle-loop, the virtual machine will compete with the screen saver running at a lower priority.
Windows host screen savers that activate while a virtual machine is running may cause problems. If an application starts concurrently on the host operating system and checks the screen resolution after Workstation has updated it, the application on the host operating system may be sized and positioned incorrectly.Ĭan Workstation interact badly with Windows host screen savers?

These applications may not resize themselves when Workstation leaves full screen mode.Īdditionally, there is a race condition that may occur if Workstation is launched at the same time as an application on the host operating system. When Workstation enters full screen mode, applications already running in the host operating system that adjust on screen resolution changes may resize themselves. Workstation restores the original host operating system screen resolution when it transitions out of full screen mode back to window mode. If the host and guest operating systems have different screen resolutions, Workstation updates the host operating system screen resolution to that of the guest operating system when Workstation enters full screen mode.

In other cases, products do not run even if they install without errors.Īpplications in the Windows NT and Windows 2000 host operating systems are sized for the resolution in the guest operating system. Products requiring Direct3D sometimes run in a virtual machine. Windows can emulate Direct3D support for a device that does not support it (such as VMware's virtual SVGA adapter), but there will be no hardware acceleration available to applications.
This emulation may be slow or unreliable.ĭoes Workstation support Direct3D graphics? This is done in the hardware emulation layer within DirectDraw. Windows can emulate DirectX/DirectDraw support for a device that does not support it (such as VMware's virtual SVGA adapter). Many DirectDraw applications will run in a virtual machine only if the Colors setting in the Display Properties control panel is set to 256 colors. VMware provides very limited support for DirectDraw through the hardware emulation layer in DirectDraw. Pay particular attention to the section Setting Up Hardware Profiles in Virtual Machines.ĭoes Workstation support DirectDraw/DirectX graphics?

The SVGA driver won't install when a virtual machine boots Windows from an existing partition.īe sure you have very carefully followed the setup procedures described in Configuring a Dual-Boot Computer for Use with a Virtual Machine in the Workstation manual.
