VMWare Workstation Users (PC Users):
Find the .vmx file in the location you installed the original VM into. If you don't remember where you installed the VM into, go to Edit->Preferences and look at the "Default location for virtual machines and teams" and it will show you the path to your VM. Then open it with a text editor such as notepad.

VMWare Fusion (Mac Users):
From Fusion's menu bar, click Window > Virtual Machine Library.
In the left column, Ctrl+click the virtual machine and click Show in Finder.
Ctrl+click the revealed package (ending in .vmwarevm) and click Show Package Contents.
Ctrl+click the file ending in .vmx and choose Open With > Other.
Navigate to TextEdit and click Choose.
You can now add or edit lines lines as needed.

VMWare Player (Non Workstation/PC Users): Look for ".VMware virtual machine configuration" instead of ".vmx".

Step Two: Add this line to the bottom of the list (Make sure that the virtual machine is off). Once you are done, save and close the .vmx file.

monitor_control.restrict_backdoor = "true"

Step Three: Power on the virtual machine and (INSIDE your Virtual Machine, not the Host OS), go to Start, Run, Regedit and find this directory:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Control/Class/{4D36E968-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}/0000

Step Four:
Once you have the folder "0000" highlighted, right click "DriverDesc" and click modify. Once you have done that, erase the value data (On Windows XP SP3, mine was named VMWare SVGA II) and click ok. On Windows 7, it should be VMWare SVGA 3D or something along those lines.

With this method, I confirmed S4L working perfectly under VMWare 7.1.4 build-385536, with both host and guest OS being Windows XP SP3 32bit.

If you still have problems, go here (), there are some additional solutions listed as well.

I didn't make this, all credit goes to Spartan117H3!

I confirmed this to be working like 10 minutes ago.
This solution is not the same as previous ones, the important thing is to change the registry key as well.
