You must restart your X session before any mouse or graphicschanges take
Effect.
You can now run VMware Tools by invoking the following command:
"/Usr/bin/vmware-toolbox" during an X server session.
To use the vmxnet driver, restart networking using the followingcommands:
/Etc/init. d/network stop
Rmmod pcnet32
Rmmod vmxnet
Modprobe vmxnet
/Etc/init. d/network start
To make use of the virtual printer, you will need to restart theCUPS service

// The system restarts and the configuration takes effect.

CentOS restart... You can see that icon 1 is displayed... Indicates that VMTools is successfully installed...

 

A strange phenomenon occurs: after CentOS is restarted, when we want to leave CentOS, we no longer need to press Ctrl + Alt!

 

Now we will share the WINXP_ OS folder for CentOS

5. go to "edit VM settings" of the VM"

 

 

This is the shared image. then we can go to CentOS to see if we can read the shared directory.

 

In the "/mnt/hgfs" folder, you can see the shared folder "text"... here, this experiment is successfully completed...
