<0> Hi, I'm using VMWare server on a debian system host, and I have just made a windows 98 guest, but I cannot set it to 32 bits color. How can I change this?
<1> install tools
<1> however i do not believe there is tools for windows 98
<0> I have installed them, doesn't change a thing
<1> well vmtools should install a new display driver
<1> does 16bit work?
<1> just not 32?
<0> yes, it does; it goes from 640x480 with 16 color to a max of 1280x1024 with 16bit
<1> ahhh
<1> dude i dunno about 32bit then
<1> actually wait
<1> i think we have a KB article on it
<0> I might add that there is no physical video card in the host server
<1> doesnt matter
<1> its a virtual video card
<0> yeah, but maybe it needs something physical to virtualize, I thought
<1> no
<1> http://www.vmware.com/support/kb/enduser/std_adp.php?p_sid=NUhsQY3i&p_lva=&p_faqid=1003
<0> nice, I'll try
<1> go nuts
<1> if not, file a trouble ticket ;)
<0> well, the registry key is not there, for starters :]
<1> is win98 even a supported operating system?
<0> it says so on the list
<0> I choose w98 as a win OS which doesn't use too much resources
<0> but any other win OS will do if it displays 32 bits
<2> What are you trying to do that requires 32-bit?
<0> I have some software running, which requires sometimes user input; so I wrote an external app handeling this input
<0> and it detects stuff on the software using colors, and unfortunately it checks for the 32-bit value
<0> http://software.groupbrowser.com/Changing_default_screen_sizes-t40842.html also looks promising
<0> but there is already a node display/0000/MODES/32/1024,768
<3> so change it so it checks for 16bit
<3> done and done ;)
<0> well it's quite some work to change everything to check for 16bit, I'd rather change the resolution
<0> what's the resource lowest OS after win98 which does work? I thougth there were problems with WinME
<2> I'd try win2k pro
<2> or xp
<2> er
<0> win2k pro does the job.
<4> anyone around?
<5> hey i was trying to install w2k3 and i keep getting this error ntkrnlmp.exe could not be loaded
<5> any thoughts?
