NEED HELP! How can I get 2560 * 1600 on Win 7? MacBook Pro 17 + Dell 30 inch PAM 3008 + Fusion 3

I run THAT VM Ware Fusion 3 on a Mac Book Pro 17 hooked up to a Dell 30 inch screen

I can manage to get a resolution of 2560 * 1600 on the MacBook Pro.

However, the highest resolution I can get Win 7 is 2048 * 15336 (and I want to be able to set it to 2560 * 1600 to take advantage of my 30-inch screen!)

I searched the KB and found an article that mentioned that I should add the following lines in the vmx file (which I did)

The lines are at the bottom of the vmx file

svga.maxWidth = "2560.

svga.maxHeight = "1600".

svga.vramSize = "16384000".

KB Article: http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC & docType = kc & externalId = 1003 & sliceId = 1 & docTypeID = DT_KB_1_1 & dialogID = 63746028 & StateID = 0% 200% 2066741566

I did handling described in the KB above, however, restarted several times, but I still can't correct resolution to show in Windows

Did you install VMware Tools? Without need of any settings to the file .vmx, the highest resolution I see is 2560 x 1920 (and 2560 x 1600 is an option).

Edit: I suggest going out changes to the .vmx file, you set the size to 16 MB VRAM max
