Help? VMware for Win sux

I'm not sure if I want help...
I wanted to install Linux in VMWare at work because I can't overwrite Windows. Both RH8 and Drake9 failed to initialize their graphical installers.
Drake 9 quit with "error 11"
RH8 just quit...I couldn't find an error code.

In Connectix VPC, both slow to a crawl and eventually crash the computer once it starts to install.

Why can't I get these to work in any virtual atmosphere??

voidmain:
Then do a text based install. At the boot: prompt type "linux text".

And look over these VMware RH73 Guest install instructions.

rtgwbmsr:
That would be fantastic if the text install didn't crash  

voidmain:
Hmmm, I've loaded RedHat under VMware for Windows before without a hitch, but not RH 8.0. I'll go try it under VMware for Linux right now. Do you have a 7.3 disc set lying around?

rtgwbmsr:
No.

I tried the Gentoo Live CD...Xserver says "no screens found". I saw similar entries in the Gentoo Bugzilla.

I don't know why anything just can't WORK.

RH7.3 and Drake 8.X work fine in VPC...
