Windows 8 (Server and Client) Black Screen (Post VMware Tools Install)
KB ID 0000587 Problem I’ve seen this on both the Windows 8 (Consumer Preview), and the Windows Server 8 (Beta), whilst running them in VMware Workstation 8. They install fine, but if you install the VMware tools all you get is a black screen. This is because the SVGA Driver than VMware Tools installs Windows 8 does NOT Like. Note: This does not hppen on ESXi 5. Solution I knew this was going to happen, so I took a snapshot...
