    With some Windows images I dd, when playing with Live View I cannot see the desktop. I can see the Task Manager and the Ctrl+Alt+Del keys but no desktop. Some video cards are not compatible with Live View. How do I fix this video resolution problem when I cannot see the desktop? I try to install VMTools but I cannot get to the CD-Rom.

      I don't think we have run into this problem before. The "video card" that VMware presents in the virtual machine is usually integrated easily with Windows plug 'n play.

      Can you tell us a little more about the setup:
      what is the host OS, video hardware and video mode?
      what is the target OS, original video hardware and video mode?
      can you get to a desktop in Safe Mode on the target VM?

      Thanks.
