VMWare issue

[Zantheus]

Well I have been messing around with VMWare and have an XP Proffessional server going. I have some of my old favourite DOS games that I am using to play it with. The issue is when I launch them, even if my VM is in fullscreen mode, the actual game picture is just a small portion of the screen with no options to maximize it. Is there any way around this?

Also, I found that my mouse like to move ultra fast and skips around the screen....is there a way of balancing the VM to run the DOS games smoother?

I'm not sure if dos has vmware tools. Vmware tools are a client side install. Are you using server 1 or 2 or player?

Server 2....I havent installed tools yet though....I just got the program and am still learning about it

Do some googling on .vmx files. Thats the vms config. Also depending on what type of OS you told vm thats running in that instance you'll find different types of emulated hardware. I think there is a way to control clock cycles?
