Sharing folders, drag and drop, copy and paste that NONE works!

I got 6.5 VMware workstation installed about 3 weeks now and I think my wife think me crazy for buying the license last night due to the fact that he has several features that simply do not work.

Now I ask anyone with knowledge of this product for shut up here and explain it.  The instructions are not difficult to understand, and no reason I can think to copy and paste them here since the help files.

I will say this however.  I am running windows XP pro host and Vmware with Linux Red Hat Fedora 10 as the guest OS.  I'll probably install XP on it in a day or two to see how it works.  Long user VPC time here to try VMWARE first at the time I also tried connectix VPC and choose to keep the VPC then as the top program.  It is quite obvious that VMware is the best of both in its current phase, but how in the world can you expect from ourselves to a program that does not work in some critical areas.

Is anyone else out there there's this version 6.5 installed and if yes can actually use you files shared?  Someone there itstalled with XP and Linux Guest host?

Any one that can have drag and drop?  Copy and paste work?  Anyone with shared working folders?

Anyone?

15 + years here making advanced computer repair and management of small groups of private programmers and even if I'm not him the brightest star in the sky, I think that if these features worked I could do it, but they simply do not have.

I have a bum facility or what?

In order to get drag / move to work trying to start vmware-user from a console.

I noticed that vmware - the user does not seem to start on RPM based distributions.  I saw this on Suse 11.1, F10 and Centos 5.2.  It starts automatically on debian (lenny) and kubunto at least here.

  • Dreamweaver cs5 change copy and paste does not work

    Dreamweaver cs5 Edition copy and paste does not work,

    So Windows 7 SP1. I tried to rename the follder config and start again and it does not work.

    Problem is when I select a file from windows Explorer, then go to Dreamweaver, choose the destination folder and editing/paste is disable, reverse operation is the same, selecting file in dreamweaver, editing/copy, go to the folder of windows Explorer and paste doesn´t work too. Anyone have the solution? (Sorry my English)

    Thank you!

    My copy of DW also works as you describe, I think it's just "the way that it is" in DW.

    To copy a file from another location on your computer to your site, copy it from the original location and paste it into the site folder within windows Explorer (do not use DW at all).

    You can also drag a file from your desktop to your files window in DW to make a copy.

  • cut and paste does not work

    I have DirectorMX2004 10.1. I use a PPC Mac, the last line of the G5s. The characteristics of cut and paste do not work no matter how I apply, even on different files. Is this a bug that someone knows? Or are there settings that I could reset? I am at a loss here. Thanks in advance!

    I thought about it. I was not clicking on the channel where I wanted to stick. I moved a picture different without selecting the channel, so Director did not know where to paste.

    My OS is vista please anything you can do I appreciate it thanks

    Hello Young Ceaser,

    Thank you for using the Microsoft Windows Vista Forums.

    Have you always had this problem with the creation of a new folder?  When you try to create that file to?  Please let us know status.  Thank you!

    I'd like to experience for me to better understand the potential cause for what you are experiencing.

    What we will do is create a new folder in your user profile directory and test the availability of renaming.

    We also create a folder on your desktop and attempt to appropriate to see if we can then rename it.

    Here are the steps to do this:

    Click Start-> click on your username at the top right of the menu.

    In the new window, click on organize-> then new folder

    Check your ability to rename.

    From there, double-click the desktop folder.

    Take the same steps to create a new folder, test the name change.

    Then, on an issue that you cannot rename, test this procedure:

    To take ownership of a folder:

    Right-click the folder for which you want to set permissions, click Properties and then click the Security tab.

    Click Advanced to open the security settings advanced for the dialog box .

    Click on the owner tab, click on change. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

    In the new security settings advanced to box, the change in ownership to: field, select your username and check Replace owner of subcontainers and objects. Click OK, repeat for the other boxes. (If your username does not appear click on the button other users or groups to add your account).

    Try to rename the folder.

    Once you are complete with tests, you can delete the folder created by right-clicking on them and selecting Remove.

  • Copy and paste that nothing happens. Razor does not crack.

    My project file (prproj) is 606 MB in size, maybe it is exceptionally high. I have 64 GB of RAM, who is currently working for the organization taking on about 48GB of RAM. I don't see any of the obvious constraints.

    But just recently, my editing has ground to a halt, that any attempt to copy/paste or sequences of razor doesn't do anything.

    I'm about to begin the purge of the sequences of my project, I would also like to keep, to see if that helps. But on the side of Adobe, is there a limit to how many individual items in the body? Any other suggestions?

    None of my drives are full. Apart from this question things seems to take place. I enjoyed that the most recent versions of the body can handle copy/paste of several clips from multi-cames without crashing. That used to be a problem. But with this problem, just trying to copy and paste a single item and it is unable to do anything. It is not things same multi-cam, just a WAV file.

    Jim & Folks,.

    It is a plug-in audio that seems to be responsible.

    Tried to reproduce the problem with various other clips in the body, most do not replicate. Why WAV clips? Ah... because I use "Dialogue iZotope TX 5 of noise" and it seems to be maybe a strict limit on this. I will contact their support department.

    Thanks for the suggestions-Gord

    UPDATE:

    Hey, I did submit a bug report, before, I noticed the audio plug-ins, but not no trace it email. If someone in Adobe can kill who?

  • How to get help with Add ons and extensions that stop working

    I have saved passwords and it has stopped working. It's so hard to get help with Moxilla

    rosemarybales said

    I still don't know why the extension button passwords saved with the key icon has stopped working.

    This button displays the saved passwords in Firefox's built-in password manager, is no separate passwords that record you in Dashlane. Can you save passwords in both places? (Well, I guess you do.)

    I have a guess on why it has stopped working. Firefox 40 has some changes to how extensions can work with the user interface, so quite a few extensions that have been more than one year must be updated for Firefox 40. It has been updated on January 10, 2012.

    Anyway, the way of 'long' to display the passwords saved in Firefox is through the Options page, the Security Panel, the saved passwords button.

  • Date system frequently replaces 3014 and accordingly, that nothing works until I change the date.

    I turned off my computer after each use.  Quite frequently, the date system at boot is 3014, not in 2014 and therefore, nothing works until I have change the date.  How can I fix all the time?

    Original title: Date System.  Windows 7 Home Premium

    It's a Dell.  I've never opened a computer, but I just opened my old one. The only thing that looks like a battery is round, about 3/4 in. in diameter, said Panasonic 3V +.  Then a stupid question: is the battery you think?

    Thanks Ken.

    Yes, it's the battery. This is very probably a CR 2032 and can be purchased almost anywhere, even at the grocery store in the United States.

    It keeps the clock of computers running, among other things, while the computer is turned off.

  • I have a new copy of fsx, that dosent work too well on my win7 64 bit vaio, is there a fix yet for fsx

    Ok
    I would try again. Looks like my post went to the title here instead.

    I have a new Flight Simulator X game and the gamepad I have installed on my laptop VAIO FW SONY series...
    Win 7 Home premium 64-bit installed.

    Even though my laptop is now two years old, it's a pretty good. I think that it should be able to run this game with
    zero problems... system are met.

    Studying, I found that most of the users have problems with the game that affect their computers in a negative way.

    .. .and on this forum, there's problems with this game.  I hate this. the game looks like it would be a lot of fun if it would work or
    work correctly.

    so I while I consider myself having better than average in computer science, I don't want to try the fix is available in the forum.

    My question... is Microsoft (the author of the fsx game) come with an update fixes everything that is bad. I hate to send it back.

  • Why to the can't 'Shared VMs' does not allow to share folders with the host and why the copy/paste does not work on them? :-((

    I want to put in place a "build mini-server' for our team. Since VMware Player is not taken in charge more I had to use VMware Workstation, and with some success, I put things up. But now more and more surface of trouble!

    To enable auto-start for the virtual machines, they must obviously be "shared." But it looks like, with this, the nuisance that these virtual machines cannot share folders more with the host. And also, it seems that copy and paste does not work with these "shared VMs.

    Is there a work around to get these features also works with 'shared VMs?

    It is VERY annoying and tedious to always have to these VMs to shuttle between shared and non-shared mode just to be able to transfer data or new versions of code for them!

    Thank you for using the workstation. How to create a script with:

It tells me that I should not always immediately install new updates due to problems of this kind. I got burned by updates in the past, but it has been awhile. Everyone must wait at least a week or two before you install these updates.

  • Impossible to copy and paste from/to XP using remote desktop

    Due to problems, I have recently reinstalled Vista on my pc.  Before the reinstall, I could access my PC using XP, using remote desktop from work to distance and copy and paste the files from XP and Vista.

    Since the reinstallation, I'm not able to copy/paste unless I have turn off UAC.  (I have progbably had turned off before, but he didn't.)  Is there a way to copy and paste them to work without disabling UAC?  Maybe some changes in the policy or registry?

    Note: I use Remote Desktop with Clipboard selected for local devices and resources.

    TIA.

    Janis

    I saw this thread earlier and it does not apply.  I would say the copy/paste of text works.  I can't copy and paste a file.  UAC seems to be the key here.

    I found a work around.   I connect with a local drive.  Since the remote desktop, I can copy files to the local disk, which then I have the file available locally and I can go other directions.  It's a little slow, but it works for now.
