Have you ever noticed that you normally can not enable Aero in a Windows 7 or Vista virtual machine? The latest VMware Player beta lets you do just that, and we have a full walk-through on how to accomplish it.
您是否曾经注意到您通常无法在Windows 7或Vista虚拟机中启用Aero？ 最新的VMware Player beta版可让您做到这一点，并且我们全面介绍了如何实现。
Note: VMware Player is available for Windows and Linux. Keep in mind that this is Beta Software and will occasionally be temperamental.
注意：VMware Player可用于Windows和Linux。 请记住，这是Beta版软件，偶尔会有气质。
Installing VMware Player
安装VMware Player
The install process is not complicated, but relevant install windows are shown here. Also keep in mind that the entire process will take more than a few minutes to finish while everything is being installed.
安装过程并不复杂，但是此处显示了相关的安装窗口。 还请记住，在安装所有组件时，整个过程将花费几分钟以上。
Note: During the install process you will not see the EULA for VMware Player.
注意：在安装过程中，您不会看到EULA for VMware Player。
During the install process you will most likely be presented with the following message window asking confirmation to install driver software. Click “Install”.
在安装过程中，您很可能会看到以下消息窗口，询问确认安装驱动程序软件。 点击“安装”。
Once the install process has finished you will be asked to restart your computer.
安装过程完成后，系统将要求您重新启动计算机。
After you have restarted your computer and started VMware Player for the first time, then you will be presented with the EULA. You will need to accept in order to use the software.
重新启动计算机并首次启动VMware Player后，将看到EULA。 您需要接受才能使用该软件。
This is the “Main Window”. Since it is still in beta it did display a little oddly on our system as shown in the following screenshot. But it functioned without any problems whatsoever for us.
这是“主窗口”。 由于它仍处于测试阶段，因此确实在我们的系统上显示了一些奇怪的地方，如以下屏幕截图所示。 但这对我们来说没有任何问题。
These are the menus for VMware Player…easy access to everything that you need to get started. Notice the link for the Guest Operating System Installation Guide in the “Help Menu”.
这些是VMware Player的菜单，可轻松访问入门所需的所有内容。 请注意“帮助菜单”中“客户操作系统安装指南”的链接。
These are the “Preferences”. If for some reason it is not selected, then make certain that “Suspend the virtual machine” is activated so that your virtual O.S. can be preserved when you are finished with it for the day (or night).
这些是“首选项”。 如果由于某种原因未选择该虚拟机，请确保已激活“挂起虚拟机”，以便在白天(或晚上)用完虚拟机后可以保留该虚拟机。
If there is a newer beta version available you will be presented with the following message window each time you start the program (unless you have update checks disabled in the “Preferences”). If you click on “Go to the Update Site” you will have to register for an account in order to download the newest version. At this point it is much simpler to wait for the latest release to become available on one of the software download websites such as Softpedia…
如果有较新的Beta版本可用，则每次启动程序时都会显示以下消息窗口(除非在“首选项”中禁用了更新检查)。 如果单击“转到更新站点”，则必须注册一个帐户才能下载最新版本。 在这一点上，等待最新版本在软件下载网站之一(例如Softpedia)上可用要容易得多。
Installing a System in VMware Player
在VMware Player中安装系统
When you get ready to install an operating system, there are two ways to start the process: 1.) Go to the “File Menu” and select “Create a New Virtual Machine…” or 2.) Click on “Create a New Virtual” in the “Main Window Sidebar”.
准备安装操作系统时，有两种方法可以启动该过程： 1.)转到“文件菜单”，然后选择“创建新的虚拟机…”或2.)单击“创建新的虚拟机” 。 ”在“主窗口侧栏”中。
This is the process that you will need to go through to set up your new system. In the first window you will need to select the install source (i.e. DVD or ISO file). Notice that you can also create a blank hard disk if desired… Click “Next” once you have chosen your source.
这是设置新系统所需的过程。 在第一个窗口中，您将需要选择安装源(即DVD或ISO文件)。 请注意，如果需要，您还可以创建一个空白硬盘...选择源后，单击“下一步”。
We chose to install directly from an ISO file. As you can see VMware Player automatically detected the type of install and provided the opportunity to enter the “Windows Product Key” now instead of having to do it later. Click “Next” once you have entered the necessary information.
我们选择直接从ISO文件安装。 如您所见，VMware Player自动检测到安装类型，并提供了现在输入“ Windows产品密钥”的机会，而不必以后再进行。 输入必要的信息后，单击“下一步”。
Choose the name for your new virtual O.S. and the location for the new “hard disk”. Click “Next” to proceed.

At this point you are nearly ready to begin installation…but first you should click on “Customize Hardware…” to make any desired changes to the settings.
此时，您几乎可以开始安装了……但是首先您应该单击“ Customize Hardware…”，对设置进行任何所需的更改。
There are eight areas to sort through in the “Settings Window” but none of it is complicated. In the first area determine if you would like to use the recommended Memory or change it to a higher/lower setting. We chose 1500 MB for our O.S. install…
在“设置窗口”中可以对八个区域进行分类，但都不是很复杂。 在第一个区域中，确定您是要使用推荐的内存还是将其更改为更高/更低的设置。 我们为操作系统安装选择了1500 MB…
Note: The only change from the defaults that we made was for the Memory size…everything else was already set up very well for our purposes.

You will also see the following window asking to download and install VMware Tools. Click “Download”.
您还将看到以下窗口，要求下载和安装VMware Tools。 点击“下载”。
This same window will display as the VMware Tools are downloading and installing/updating…
当VMware Tools正在下载和安装/更新时，将显示该窗口。
While the VMware Tools are downloading/installing, you will notice that your new O.S. will also be installing at the same time. Here you can see our Windows 7 system getting settled in. There will be the “traditional” restarts for your new system to complete the installation and a restart for new VMware Drivers that need to be added in to help your new O.S. run smoothly. Let all of the VMware Drivers install…there were four for our particular installation.
在下载/安装VMware Tools时，您会注意到新操作系统也将同时安装。 在这里，您可以看到我们的Windows 7系统已安装完毕。新系统将以“传统”方式重启以完成安装，而新VMware Drivers的重启方式则需要添加进来，以帮助您的新OS顺利运行。 让所有的VMware Drivers安装。。。我们的特定安装有四个。
Note: If you are installing Windows 7, it will start up with the Basic theme and you will need to turn Aero on.
注意：如果要安装Windows 7，它将以“基本”主题启动，并且需要打开Aero。
