Found the option by right-clicking on the VM in vsphere and selecting “Guest->Install/upgrade VMWare tools”

In the image in step 3. I do not have the panel (cant see the panel name becuase your image quality is not clear enough) that contains the option to install vmware tools. I am using vsphere client v4.0.0 (EXSi 4.0.0)
Can you tell me 1: what this panel is called and 2: how I can get it to appear in the vsphere client. Thanks

kp: you can get the vmware-tools rpm from the windows installation of vmware player. I'm sure it's included with all versions of vmware. Once you download the file, install it, search the installation directory for the appropriate vmware-tools package (I like to copy all of them to a flash drive) and use as you need it.

I have a problem that I can not seem to find an answer for. I have a CentOS 5.0 Server virtual machine. It has no GUI. I can not find a way to increase the size of the guest's window in vmware player.
