moving the slider in the workstation 11.1 on Surface Pro 3

I've been running Workstation on Windows machines for years. However, I encountered a problem on a new Surface Pro 3 which could be linked to the very high resolution of 3 Surface Pro.


The question arises when I run a virtual machine on an external display and put Windows to extend the poster, for example, applications on the external display, including work stations, are independent of what is on the screen Surface Pro. In this mode, click inside the virtual machine location is shifted to the current location of the cursor, which makes it difficult to do anything with the mouse.


I tried different combinations of screen resolutions on the host and the guest, including the setting of the resolution on the screen much smaller home, but without a change in behavior.


The only way I got the cursor to behave normally must change Windows on the host computer to duplicate rather than extend the displays. That works, but the widespread use of the poster is vital.


I am running 11.1 Workstation. Is there a parameter I need to change the cursor to behave normally in the VM?

I can't take credit for the answer to this question, but the desire to post the solution here in case others encounter the issue.

The solution is simple: tell Windows on the host computer to disable the display timing of high DPI settings.

To make this narrow workstation, right-click VMWare.exe (or the shortcut you are using), and then select Properties. Click on the Compatibility tab and check the box "turn off the staggering high DPI settings display.

  • Before moving the tool bars in Acrobat 11 Pro; possible or not?

    I upgraded from Acro 9 pro Acro 11 Pro, and now I'm trying to move the toolbar to a different location in the window (for example right margin). But it does not seem possible in Arcobat 11; I am mistaken, or is anyone know the trick? Thanks in advance!

    Do you mean that toolbars at the top of the window? If Yes, then no, it is not possible to move.

  • VMX file missing after moving the hard drive

    Hello

    I have a problem with my VM Windows 8, it has stopped working when I moved the physical SSD in a different SATA port on the motherboard. I moved because he was running on the SATA2 instead of the SATA3 and its an SSD.

    When I open VM Workstation 10 I expected to see the virtual machine waiting to be taken up (he was suspended before moving on SSD) but there was only the start option. I pressed start and it gave me a message

    "Could not open computer virtual: E:\windows 8.1\Windows 8.1.vmx.

    File not found

    Then I looked in the phone book and it was noware to be seen! It's just gone. I noticed that there is a file to suspend in the name, it also disappeared at some point.

    I tried to recreate the file .vmx following these instructions:

    VMware KB: Recovery of a lost or deleted Workstation virtual machine configuration file

    I used the same directory and the name of the current virtual machine. When I tried the virtual machine, I got this error:

    "The specified file is not a virtual disk.

    I then tried the again, this time using the same directory, but a different name.

    This time it loaded up, but took a long time, when he finally got the sign in screen that I put my password as normal, but when I looked through the C:\ drive all my programs and documents had disappeared!

    Really starting to panic now, I have loads of work on this virtual machine. I created snapshots, but they do not display inside VMWare, the files are still there.

    I have someone would watch via Skype or team Viewer please let me know and I will set up a screen sharing.

    Thanks for reading, hope someone can help.

    Can you confirm that you have changed the hard with VMware Workstation closed? And you fixed the problem on the disk that appeared when you ran chkdsk?

    What you can try is to see if it works to clone the virtual disk manually by running

    VMware - vdiskmanager.exe, t 0 - r 'Windows 8.1 - 000001.vmdk' 'Windows 8.1 - Clone.vmdk.

    (you may need to provide the full path to the executable file)

    If it doesn't work, that shows the same error message: the GUI?

    Hi all

    My configuration:

    Comments n.2: Debian 5.0 Gnome

    Both have the latest version of installed vmware tools

    With Windows XP guest, moving the mouse on the window border back the pointer to the host OS.

    With Debian, I can't do it and to do the combination of SHIFTaltctl

    Restart the tools with the init script gives no error, and ps ax | grep vmware reports

    So it seems that the tools work properly

    This virtual machine has been configured to nothing a few days ago, so not embusked files/configurations or upgrade issues.

    Can anyone give me a tip?

    Thank you

  • Cannot not left/right, click anywhere for 1-3 seconds after moving the mouse to even. The mouse works fine with all other programs.

    Moving the mouse to any results on the ground in time. For example: when I moved the mouse to the "Détails" box, it was entirely 2 seconds before I saw an indication that I could enter data. What reading mail on Yahoo, if I want to mark an item to move, delete etc. I find the mouse cursor on the box for 1-3 seconds before I can click on the box. The problem occurs no matter wherever the cursor of the mouse is used. (Switch from one tab to another, ranging from one matter of Facebook to another, everywhere!) I should point out that I tried to run my Email, Facebook and all regular applications with Internet Explorer and I have not had any problems at all. I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox. No help! I like Firefox and use it for years, it's only in the last few weeks that this problem has come. I really don't want change in Chrome or IE, but I can't continue with this problem. I'm not a technology expert, so I hope that there is a pretty easy fix.
    Thanks in advance,

    Sorry I should have to take a look at this earlier, but you have several versions of Flash installed. Having multiple versions of the same plug-ins can cause problems.

    Take uninstaller from here:

    And install the latest version here: https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    Notice that the link is usually an 'optional' offer for the McAfee toolbar in the middle pane you can untick this box as it is not necessary to use a Flash.

  • HOW TO GET RID OF THE MODE ADDRESS BAR IN FULL SCREEN WITHOUT MOVING THE MOUSE

    When full screen toolbar address and tabs only lift and disappear after moving the mouse. It should automatically disappear after a few seconds, even if you do not move the mouse. Is there anyway to achieve this goal? Thank you.

    Thanks for your reply. Safe mode made no difference. However, I know how you feel. If you are in normal mode (with a Web site open), and then you press F11 for full screen, it will automatically hide the address bar. However, if WHILE in FULLSCREEN MODE, you enter a new address and go to another Web page it will hide the address bar after moving the mouse.

  • R60 freezes seconds after moving the mouse

    As the title says, my R60 freezes (no response from the mouse or keyboard) moving the mouse (that it either via USB mouse, touchpad or red dot-in-the-keyboard). Can I use the keyboard to navigate through the menus / use the computer normally, but as soon as I try to move the mouse, everything crashes after 2-3 seconds of movement and I have to force a shutdown, reboot and try again... same thing continues to be.

    This behavior started after I turned on my laptop this morning, after having for the night (~ 8 hours). I don't know what the cause could be because it worked perfectly normally until yesterday.

    After many gels and cold - reboot, I decided to press the ThinkVantage button a start and select "return to factory settings" to reinstall Windows. Everything went well, but as soon as I moved the mouse... you guessed it, everything froze as usual. =/

    I have no idea why this happens all of a sudden, as my laptop has been working well for about 2.5 years now. The only problem is that I have to keep plugged in to an electrical outlet whenever it is, because the battery dies, but I don't see how this would cause these repeated blockages.

    What could be the problem? I don't know what else to do because a new installation of Windows XP of course did not help. Fortunately I just build a new desktop PC is how I can even post here. =/

    Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

  • How can I keep XP pro to create a 'My music' folder by default in C; \MyDocuments after I moved the folder on a 2nd HARD drive?

    I installed a 2nd HDD in my PC and moved the folder my music on the new drive. Now, XP Pro creates a my music folder on default in C:\MyDocuments once again on the C:\ drive and stores music files here by default. I don't want a folder my music on the C:\ drive, that's why I installed a 2nd HDD to keep my separate music. Is it possible to 'say' XP Pro does not create the default folder?

    Hello Toddy - USA,

    Unfortunately, this is normal and default Windows creates a Documents folder even if you delete it. However, if you have saved the music to another folder, you can set Media Player to use a default folder to access music files.

    a. Open Media Player, press the Alt key to bring up the file menu.

    b. click on file, manage libraries, and music.

    Here you can add and remove sites and also to select the default location.
