My host Operating system is Windows XP Pro using VMware 5.5 and I am running Ubuntu 9.04 HelixPro in VM. I have installed and enabled vmware-toolbox with the first nag is that vmware-toolbox window has to be open to allow me to switch from vmware to host without using ctrl+alt to release the mouse. Nag 2 is I would like to resize the guest OS to match the VMware window. Now using 800x600, when setting Ubuntu OS to 1024x768 I have to use scroll bars to view the whole screen. Any fixes for either of these would be appreciated. Thanks

I am now dual booting my D531 with WinXP Pro and BackTrack 4 another Ubuntu derivative.
