I finally got my cooker setup fairly stable. Installed vmware 2.0.4 with no problems. Installed win98 guest. Again, no problems. Until... I tried switching to a full-screen. The screen goes blank, with some colored garbage along the top. This was with 4.0.3 (came by default). Made sure backing store was on. Installed 3.3.6 server and retried experiment. Same thing. I have a voodoo3/2000, and this all worked flawlessly under mdk 7.2. I've been groveling through 2-3 months of email on the mailing list archive, but I'm not sure I've found my specific issue yet. Any ideas?
