VM Windows XP - with SVGA Treiber only a 640x480 resolution

Hello,

I have an old PC with Windows XP and I copied this into a VM (direct copy of USB hard disk) or converted via VMWareConverter.

When I start the VM, the resolution is at 1280x1024, even in safe mode. When I install the VMWareTools the resolution is only 640x480. If I uninstall the VMWareTools I can increase the resolution again.

On the Windows XP an VMWare server 2 runs. I can't uninstall it, it stops with an error message. A cleanup with the VMWare cleaner did not help.

Also, the resolution in the registry change brought nothing.

e.g. "Attach.RelativeX" or "DefaultSettings.XResolution"

I used VMWare Player 14.

For other Windows XP PCs, the conversion has always worked.

Does anyone have an idea?

Thank you in advance!

Holger
