Problems with Microsoft ice startup on Windows 2000 Server in VMware

 

Author:Sunwear

After installing Windows 2000 Server SP4 on Vmware gsx server. No video card driver is installed. Looking at the 640*480 16-bit screen, it feels uncomfortable and uncomfortable. To facilitate the installation of VMware Tools, the VM toolkit comes with a video card driver, this is much better.

I installed Windows this time to install SoftICE to debug something. Therefore, compuware DriverStudio 3.2 is installed. However, after the Strat SoftICE service is restarted, the mouse cannot be used, and the keyboard has a response. This is still the case after the restart.

I have never installed SoftICE in Windows 2000 before. After a few minutes, I want to try Baidu search. Move the mouse down and remove the system Window in VMware, without pressing CTRL + ALT. In this case, wmware tool has such a function and directly copies the screen. Therefore, a SoftICE problem may be related to this function.

The result is that vmwaretools is uninstalled. As expected, SoftICE can be used normally.

Install VMware Tools, select a custom installation item, and only install svga driver, next ...... Finish. Restart, or not ......

Modify the *. vmx file under the virtual machine system directory created by VMware. (the mouse and keyboard failure disappears ). Add

Vmmouse. Present = "false"
Svga. maxfullscreenrefreshtick = "5"

Save and restart the VM. OK.

Ctlr + D outbound call is normal. However, the keyboard fails. This was previously encountered. The i8042prt. SYS file under the SoftICE installer directory overwrites the file with the same name under system32/drivers. Now.
