The guest video performance will be much better using fullscreen. In a window it seems to run faster if the depth matches. 16bpp seems to be the best guest and host depth. Also, if the host does not have a depth and mode to match the guest OS then you can not use fullscreen. The host's video card drivers need to support direct access for fullscreen. (e.g. NVidia cards seem to need the proprietary driver.) For the original poster: system-config-display can be used to adjust the default mode and depth. Set the "Color Depth" to "Thousands of Colors" on the settings tab. Otherwise, FC2 works fine for me as a host and guest running VMWare Workstation 4.5.2 build 8848. I also have used another FC2 host running VMWare GSX Server 3.1.0 without problems. -- David Norris http://www.webaugur.com/dave/ ICQ - 412039
