Hi

I've installed VMware workstation 4.5.2 for trial because I want to check it to install windows98 for games.

My host is winXP pro.

My audio card in onboard AC97 and I can't manage to install it in the guest OS.

Any help ?

I installed the VMWare tools and it seems to appear in the settings, but in the guest OS, when trying to reinstall the driver, the operating system can't do it.

Thanks a lot
