I was testing a new VMware security application (Tripwire ConfigCheck).  I downloaded it to a virtual machine and followed the instructions to run the application (a cmd file), but it didn’t run – I edited the cmd file & added a pause to see if I could tell where it stopped & it appeared to be before calling a .jar file – I did not have Java installed, so I installed Java & tried again – still failed – I read the instructions & found it supports JRE 1.5 or higher, but just in case, I installed the older version (1.5) to see if it would work – still didn’t work – finally, I opened up a command prompt & ran the cmd file from there & received an error that stated your display settings must be at 1024 X 768 for the application to run – my virtual system resolution was too low ...
