If you do not install VMware Tools, the graphics environment within the virtual machine is limited to VGA mode graphics (640x480, 16 color).

With the VMware Tools SVGA driver installed, VMware Workstation supports up to 32-bit displays and high display resolution, with significantly faster overall graphics performance. Other tools in the package support time synchronization between host and guest, automatic grab and release of the mouse cursor, copying and pasting between guest and host, and improved mouse performance in some guest operating systems. The installers for VMware Tools for Windows, Linux and FreeBSD guest operating systems are built into VMware Workstation as ISO image files. (An ISO image file looks like a CD-ROM to your guest operating system and even appears as a CD-ROM in Windows Explorer. You do not use an actual CD-ROM to install VMware Tools, nor do you need to download the CD-ROM image or burn a physical CD-ROM of this image file.) VMware Tools for Windows supports Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows.NET Server guest operating systems.

When you choose Settings > VMware Tools Install from the VMware Workstation menu bar, VMware Workstation temporarily connects the virtual machine's first virtual CD-ROM drive to the ISO image file that contains the VMware Tools installer for your guest operating system and begins the installation process. (If you decide not to proceed with the installation, choose Settings >Lotr bfme 2 no cd patch 1.06. Cancel VMware Tools Install to return your virtual machine's CD-ROM drive to its original configuration.)

It cannot be configured as a generic SCSI device. To add an IDE or SCSI CD-ROM drive, see. For information about generic SCSI, see.
