Choppy mouse in vmware console

Got a couple of converted and newly installed servers with choppy mouse control in console mode.
The fix is to install the vmware graphic driver. I thought that that one would install when installing vmware tools, but it wont, even odder, it places the driver in a quite strange folder.

Start the device manager and expand "Display Adapter". If the "Faulty "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter" is shown you have to replace the driver. 














Right click it and select "Update Driver Software"













Select "Browse my computer for driver software"









Go to C:\program files\Common Files\VMware\Drivers\wddm_video

Press next -> close and restart the virtual machine.
You should now have the VMware SVGA 3D driver installed
