Hey guys, I got some help from this community about a year ago. Basically what I wanted to do is get some operating systems running in a virtual environment on my main computer. I like to mess around with other operating systems and the main reason I selected Windows XP first was to be able to play some old games that are refusing to work on Windows 10 no matter what. Anyway I got one of the games running on the virtual Windows XP system. However, after the game launches it reverts the resolution back to a small box in the middle of the screen, it is pretty annoying. Especially since I have made it this far.
I have already changed some settings in both the Control Panel of the virtual machine and the actual VMware settings themselves. So Windows XP is fitting the screen perfectly now with no noticeable stretching or distortion. I have tried many things to get the game to launch and fit to the screen, but nothing seems to work. The game does not seem to have any settings to adjust this either, unless I am missing it.
1.) Does anyone have any ideas of how I can get the game to meet the resolution of the monitor or the virtual machine?
2.) I am looking for other software to create more virtual environments. I am in the Information Systems Security field and need to increase my knowledge of other operating systems. Such as Linux and Macintosh. I know there are many versions of Linux I can mess around with, I have been told Ubuntu more than once, but there are many versions of that too correct? I would like to purchase a cheaper version of a Macintosh system. Can you guys recommend anything for that? I guess it should be as recent as possible if I want to familiarize myself with it. However, I do not want to spend a lot of money for something I am just going to mess around with on a virtual environment.
