Removing the VMware drivers from the registry definitely made a difference, after rebooting the screen was only 1024x768 and the mouse did not work. Is that something important, that I would need? I don’t know about the “right” version of the other VMware drivers, but the only one with an actual problem seems to be the VMCI Host Device. I tried to tell it to “Update Driver”, but then I got a pop-up saying “Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it.” The driver in a previous VM had delivery date of, and version 9.7.10) I also see VMware VMCI Host Device in the System Device, but this one states “Unknown” as the Drive provider, and none of the other Driver information is there. Is that really the 12.5.5 version? (again, this is the same version I have in a VM I saved before upgrading VMware Tools) I see the VMware VMCI Bus Device in the System Devices, driver provided by VMware Inc., but with a delivery date of, and version 9.7.10. The mouse driver (which also supposedly could not be installed) is also provided by VMware, date, version 12.5.2.0 (again, this is the same version I have in a VM I saved before upgrading VMware Tools) Its driver is provided by VMware Inc, but has a date of, and version 8.15.33: is that the version with the fix you mention? (This is the same version I have in a VM I saved before upgrading VMware Tools). Screen resolution is still 1920x1200, and the device Manager gives VMware SVGA 3D as the Display Adapter. When I reboot the guest Windows 7 after the installation of WMware Tools with the error messages I get an error from Windows 7:ĭevice driver software was not successfully installed VMware VMCI Host Device I am not sure about the other devices.ĭo you see "VMware VMCI Bus Device" and "VMware VMCI Host Device" under your Windows 7 VM Device Manager under System Devices? go to Device Manager and update drivers on the selected and select the extract folder as the location). Some drivers would be pretty straightforward to install (like video/audio) as they would be treated just as how they would with physical machine (i.e.
tools, the important fix is that for the SVGA video driver as there was fix for memory usage issues.įor the extract, you would be able to see a folder called with many device drivers Another way of checking is to go to Device Manager and see whether the Display Adapter name is "VMware SVGA 3D".įor 12.5.5. If the VMware display driver is not installed I think the display would be limited to 800圆00 or 1024x768 (or some other low resolution). I wonder if the error messages are just red herrings but that some (if not all) of the drivers are installed.Ī visible cue would be the display.
