Installed a Win2K dinosaur under my Workstation 8. Display resolution stuck at 640x480. 16 colors.
Tried to specify monitor settings, no luck. Found everyone else saying to install VMWare tools
but when I did that, I received "Setup was unable to upgrade the windows installer" in
VMWare Product Installation dialog box.
Display about the size of a cheap postcard. Barely bigger than my smartphone. Working this way feels
like changing engine valves through the exhaust pipe.
Sad to have to load Win2K again, but have no choices right now.. 
Any ideas out there?
