Linux Mint 10 is running great in VMware since I got VMWare tools installed. I've now got three other people at work trying out Linux Mint 10 on their machines because of this. 2 running the guest in Windows and 1 running it in Win7. I hope this helps anyone else out there who is having problems wit...

Not to thread jack but thanks for the reply and the great info.

I have no sound either, kind of frustrating, trying to sort this all out.

I'll be watching your thread closely.

Thanks.

No thoughts on this?

Still looking for some thoughts on how I might be able to get VMWare working with Win7.
