<div dir="ltr">Hi <br><br> I've installed CentOS 5.2 as a guest OS inside VMWare server 1.0.6 running on a Windows XP SP3 (logged in as a local user belonging to the administrator's group). Networking is setup as bridge and the guest OS has it's own IP address (I'm also sitting on a public IP so there is no NAT between the CentOS installation and the Internet). <br>
I'm experiencing the following problems:<br>1. VMWare tools installation failed. First attempt was with the RPM and second attempt was with the tar.gz. In both attempts there were no errors in the installations. <br>2. I installed Eclipse CDT and it fails to start. It brings up a (what I guess is) alert window, but I can't see what is the warning inside the window because the window doesn't display any text. JRE version installed on the system is 1.6.0_07 installed via Sun's supplied RPM and replacing the Java link in /etc/alternatives<br>
3. After installing VMWare tools I tried changing the screen size from 800x600 to 1024x768 (XP windows size is set to 1280x1024) and now X crashes when it attempts to start (easily fixed by putting screen size back to 800x600, but I don't want to do that). <br>
<br> Has anyone encounter similar problems and can help me? <br><br><br><br><br>--<br>TIA <br>Paolo<br><br><br></div>
