I also had to I think that's referring to the vmware-tools that come as part of the vmware software. Choose `VMware Tools Install' from the Settings menu after your VM has booted, then double-click the icon for your floppy drive in My Computer. The software there will enable you to run your microsoft VM in resolutions other than standard vga (640x480x16colors). My microsoft vm currently runs at 1024x768x16bit on a 1400x1050x16bit X display.
