I downloaded the VMware mouse driver from http://mitglied.lycos.de/Morgon_de/downloads/VMMouse-1.1.I.bs.tar.gz.
I decompressed it and get a floder named VMware.In the folder,VMware.config is a folder and not a file.I am confused.
How to install it?Thanks.

Basically you need to mv that VMWare.config folder to /private/Drivers/i386/  Then you can use Configure.app to install the drivers.  Make sure you install the video driver, mouse driver, network driver, and the sound blaster driver as well.  Then you'll get full use of the system. :-)  Here's a link to Rhapsody DR2 install under VMWare.  It has lots of pictures. ;-)  Even though it's Rhapsody DR2, the basics are still the same when it comes to the driver installation.  Just remember to install them in /private/Drivers/i386.  The Rhapsody installation uses the same drivers that NEXTSTEP/OPENSTEP do under VMWare.

That's why I suggested you read thru the Emulation/Virtualization sub forum, most of this has been covered.   :-)  The forums are a wealth of information.  Hope that helps.  Take care.
