Windows 95 Unknown Monitor in VMware Workstation
Hello, I am Vas709, and I am the newest member of the board.
Today I installed Windows 95 in VMware Workstation. It was very hard for me to install Windows 95. I have installed VMware Tools for Windows 95, and I restarted the virtual machine. In Windows 95 there was still 16 bit color display mode. I installed VMware Display for Windows 95 and rebooted the virtual machine again. There was still an unknown monitor. Also, moving the mouse is a little bit weird. I can't use my mouse to escape from a virtual machine so I have to press Ctrl + Alt to do so. Can anyone please tell me how to set up a monitor for Windows 95?

Having an 'unknown' monitor isn't critical to change for operation. It's generally to ensure that someone doesn't choose resolution and refresh rates that aren't compatible with a particular model of monitor.
My Windows 95 OSR2 virtual machine is set up for version 9 compatibility of VMWare, running on VMWare Workstation 11. It runs fine with single core processor, 64MB RAM, and 8GB hard disk. Sometimes creating a virtual machine compatible only with the lastest VMWare version, doesn't play nicely with older operating systems.
