![]() But things are different in a virtual machine, because both the host operating system and the guest system need access to some of your hardware. For example, you must use your mouse in Mac OS X to operate Fusion itself ( among other things ), while the copy of Windows running in Fusion also needs to respond to mouse movement and clicks. But, of course, you wouldn 't want to switch to a different mouse when you' re running Windows, so Fusion takes your mouse data from Mac OS X and passes it through to Windows. In some cases, Fusion emulates a particular type of hardware ( say, a floppy drive or serial port ) that isn 't physically there, and Windows obligingly uses an appropriate built-in driver to access that virtual hardware. In other cases, no existing driver enables proper communication between Windows and Fusions emulated hardware, so Windows needs special, Fusion-specific drivers. • VMware Tools: Fusion’s collection of drivers is included in a software package called VMware Tools. This software not only handles all the basic hardware functions (such as sound and video), but also lets Windows do fancy things like share files with your Mac OS X host operating system, adjust its display resolution automatically when you resize your Fusion window, and much more. Because this software makes using Windows (or Linux) a vastly better experience, you should always be sure to install it.
