this migh possibly be to the fact that vms have no graphics card,. but I could be wrong

VMs obviously emulate a graphics card, otherwise, you wouldn't see anything :P

IIRC VMware does not emulate a 3D graphics card, so some effects (eg. aero) might not be available.
For the resolution problem, do you have VMware Tools installed inside the vm?

could emulate a graphics processor considering the capablity of it doesn't quite live up to a graphics card
& it probally was vmtools that adjusted the res but I haven't installed them on this one...
how bout you rm installed vm tools?
