Note: If you have an older version of VMware Tools installed, stop the old version before installing the new one.
Note: If you decide not to proceed with the installation of VMware Tools, you may cancel the operation by selecting Settings > Cancel VMware Tools Install.
On Windows Me, Windows 2000 and Windows XP guests, the SVGA driver is installed automatically and the guest operating system uses it after it reboots. On Windows 9x and Windows NT guests, you need to configure the video driver manually.
Instructions for configuring the video driver will open automatically in Notepad at the end of the installation process. If the Notepad window is hidden, bring it to the front by clicking the Notepad button on the Windows taskbar.
The VMware Tools background application will be launched automatically when you reboot the virtual machine.
