Can double-click is no longer on a virtual computer after update to Win 8.1 (on the Mac host)

Hello

We have VMWare Fusion Version 5.0.3 (1040386) running on a Mac Book Pro (Mountain Lion) with a Windows 8 VM, updated week last through the App Store to 8.1

We have this problem on all our machines:

1 open Windows Explorer, navigate to any 'virtual' folder (ie. a folder which is actually pointing to a folder on the Mac, for example My Documents).


2. you can see everything, but you can't do anything with it. For example, double-click a file to open it and the application (for example, Notepad, Excel, whatever) does not start. The workaround, it is that you have to go to the physical folder on the Mac and open the file, then it will open the appropriate application of the virtual machine (and the file opens in the application). On VM Win8, it wasn't necessary, it has worked well for the virtual machine.

3. you double-click any subfolder to open it either, you can never see the top level of the virtual machine.

It seems that the behaviour of 'double click' is broken.

Any ideas?

Thank you

OK, the solution to this problem is not double click, but sharing folders. VMware tools needs to be completely ONE installed, restart the virtual machine, and then reinstall the VMware tools.

I also had to change the registry settings in Windows for VMWare tools first, because otherwise it could not be uninstalled.

The steps to edit the registry are in this thread, the Zypher response:

https://communities.VMware.com/thread/460232

Changes to the registry, then select Virtual Machine in Fusion, the menu reinstall. This will cause the Tools CD-ROM mounted in the virtual machine (Windows 8.1 in my case). Ignore the guests that appear and instead, open Control Panel and choose to uninstall VMWare Tools. You must restart the virtual machine later. After the reboot, new Virtual Machine in Fusion menu goto and now select "install VMware Tools". You will need to logoff the VM at the end and reconnect again.

  • Double-click now no longer works

    Something happened to my laptop.  Double click doesn't work.  I can sometimes open a link by 'right-clicking', but not always.  Does anyone know of a setting somewhere that I have to change?

    There is a setting for double click in the Control Panel, Folder Options, enable or click on restore by default. This might not help, this seems to be a problem with your mouse or the mouse software and possibly the driver. Check the settings of the software.

  • Double click on a message header opens in a tab with totally different return email but the header of an email, the body of the email is empty, how to fix?

    Emails sitting in my Inbox is open a few days normally. Double clicking on it opens a tab that is referring to the clicked e-mail header, but here's a header and a completely different email details and the body of the email is empty. For example by double clicking on an e-mail from results of Tesco in 'Tesco' display in the tab but the header below shows ' of: TalkTalk'

    By clicking on "Options" and selecting "Display remote content" does not solve the problem.

    This feature seems to apply only to a few emails at first, but it becomes general.

  • Double click on a page causes Firefox to go back a page instead of highlight at the insertion point

    I have a Logitech iFeel MouseMan. The side button is set to double-click. Sometimes instead of highlight to the cursor position the tab jumps back a page. (In other words, it is as if I had clicked the button left of the return address bar.) This abnormal behavior doesn't happen if I physically double click with the left button of the mouse. This anomaly came a year ago and a Google search has a Firefox configuration setting that solved the problem. Now I do not think the setting and a Google search provides no answers. I solved the problem by resetting my computer to a previous point of reset, but it is an inelegant solution - and it takes hours. (The problem does not occur now. I ask for the future). I prefer to do the problem by changing the appropriate setting of Firefox to go. Logitech told me that the problem is not with the mouse, or its software, but with Firefox and that I should ask experts of Firefox.

    I don't know what setting that is actually, but here's how you can understand.

    1. Enter about: config in the address bar, press enter
    2. Accept the warning
    3. Type of mouse in the list filter field
    4. Settings no standard are "BOLD", now you should be able to see which setting you have changed

  • Vista can only boot mode safe after updating Panda Internet Security installed on the system

    Original title: VISTA can only successfully starts in Mode safe. When you try the System Restore restarts in Normal Mode and restore failed "Volume Shadow Copy Service used by the system restore does not work"

    Problem started (I think) after that PANDA INTERNET SECURITY did a update and says a restart is required (29/09/2010). System could not restart normally. Started, but virtually nothing loaded and couldn't do anything.

    In Safe Mode, first mistake was a Protection Exception for TPSrv.exe (a PANDA executable)

    Tried to do a Safe Mode system restore to point before PANDA update (28/09/2010). System Restore starts safe mode and then restart in Normal Mode.  After about an hour comes up with error message "Volume Shadow Copy Service used by the system restore does not work. (0 x 81000202) event log.

    I also tried sfc.exe but found no compromise windows

    Hello

    Follow the steps mentioned below.

     

    Method 1:

    Check if the Volume Shadow Copy service is started. Follow the steps mentioned below.

    a. click the Start button and in the search box, type in: Services.

    b. press "Enter" to open the Services window.

    c. find related services that are listed above and check the status (on the road) and the Startup Type (automatic).

    d. double-click the service to change the status of started and set the startup type to automatic.

    Try to do a system restore and check.

    Method 2:

    Since you are able to boot into safe mode, I suggest you perform a clean boot and disable all non-Microsoft applications, then boot normally and control.

    To perform a clean boot follow the steps mentioned in the link given below.

  • I can not select Windows 8.1 upgrade and other applications after update system

    I just refreshed my laptop Windows 8.1 after that that he returned to Windows 8... I opened the store and I can't select Windows 8.1 upgrade and other applications. What can solve this problem?

    Hey Kevin,

    If you bought your laptop with Windows 8, and she had a recovery partition, it would reset to Windows 8 when you want to run a system to refresh. This also applies if you have performed the update system using a disk installation or recovery of Windows 8. You mentioned that you are now unable to update Select 8.1 of Windows update, the Windows store.

    The Windows 8.1 update is not listed? Or you can not face problems with the update 8.1 for Windows from the Windows store?

    If you are facing the issue later, what happens when you click on the update of Windows 8.1 in Windows store? An error message appears?

    You also mentioned that you can not store of Windows other apps? What happens when you try to install?

    If you are unable to find the Windows 8.1 update in the Windows store, try the steps suggested in this article and checking:

    First of all, make sure that you have installed all the Windows updates available, including 2871389 KB and KB 2917499.

    2. Type of Troubleshooting and press enter; Click the tab settings , under the search box.
    3. Click on the tile to find and fix the problems and then click on the button show all the left pane.
    4. Click the Windows update troubleshooting tool and run it.

    Method 2:

    If the problem persists, disable any third-party antivirus software that you may have installed temporarily and check.

If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished.
