Is anyone running TFTD on DOS in VMWare on Windows XP?

When trying to install the game, only half the screen is visible.  Does 
anyone know what may be causing this problem?  The problem occurs 
regardless of the resolution size set in the host video adapter.

I remember having successfully ran TFTD with VMWare both on Linux and
Win2K without any trouble...

Try installing the VMWare addon drivers in the virtual PC (it enables SVGA
modes among other things), but I'm not sure if it'll work...

Tried that.  The install screen still only shows the top half.  I had to 
install the game on the host, then copy it to the guest via networking.  It 
runs now that it is unpacked.

Perhaps you need to apply f0d's trainer program. Also try using wine
or something.
