'VMware Workstation does not support the multiple monitors feature in other guests'

When I click the icon "Cycle multiple monitors", I get the message "VMware Workstation does not support the multiple monitors feature in other guests."  Google found me no hits on it.  Anyone know what that means or how I could get multiple monitors to work?

The host OS is Windows 7 Professional x 64 with service pack 1 applied.  The guest operating system is Debian Linux, version 8, also 64-bit.

$ uname - a

Linux debianvm 3.16.0 - 4-amd64 SMP 3.16.7 - ckt9-3 #1 ~ deb8u1 Debian (2015-04-24) x86_64 GNU/Linux

The virtual machine was created with VirtualBox, then exported to a .ova file, then imported into VMware Workstation.  VMware Workstation is version 11.1.2 build-2780323.

-Steve

Hi Steve and welcome on VMware communities!

With your virtual machine turned off the power, go into the settings of your virtual machine and on the Options tab, under general, select the client OS type: Linux > Debian 7 64-bit.  Then try to turn your virtual computer and see if it works.  (8 debian is quite close to Debian 7.)

See you soon,.

  • VMware ESXi does not support the RAID on HP Proliant ML110 G5 drives

    Hello

    I installed VMware ESXi on my HP Proliant ML110 G5. I got 3 hard drives on my server at the moment, one of them is VMware ESXi and other two are RAID1.
    Whenever I connect to my server via vSphere client I have the chance to see every HARD drive (datastore) separately.  Is it possible that VMware does not RAID installation?
    I would need to see these two hard drives as a data store. Do you have any ideas on how I can do?
    Thank you.

    like any other typical server, you need to configure the sata raid controller RAID5/RAID0. but keep in mind that this controller without any battery backed cache would have very horrible performance. Another way is that you can use datastore span to provide as a large store of data, but if you lose all of the computer, you will lose all data.

  • Why vmware workstation does not mask the cpuid SYSCALL/SYSRET little?

    I am running VMware workstation 11.1.3 on linux.  In my client operating system 64-bit, I notice that cpuid for eax = 0 x 8000001 returns a value edx masks who has always little 11.  It's the bit SYSCALL/SYSRET ability.

    Here is the part of the vmware.log file shows the parameters of my hostCPUID:

    2016 02-03 T 15: 59:19.629 - 08:00 | VMX | I120: hostCPUID level 80000001, 0: 0x00000000 0x00000000 0 x 00000021 0x2c100800

    As you can see, edx is 0x2c100800, which means that my system is capable of SYSCALL/SYSRET.

    I tried to add the following to my vmx file:

    monitor_control.enable_fullcpuid = 'TRUE '.

    CPUID.80000001.EDX = '-:-:-:-:-: 1 -: -: - ".

    Unfortunately, even with these settings, my diary of vmware shows no entry in the section 'Differences CPUID of hostCPUID' to cpuid.80000001.

    As a test, I tried to change bit 10 instead of 11 to cpuid.80000001.edx bits and the difference that presented themselves.  So what is the 11 bit characteristic, and why is he always have hidden inside the virtual machine no matter what I do?

    Thank you.

    You check what code 64-bit or 32-bit code in compatibility mode?  Mode 32 bits (legacy and compatibility), only AMD processors set this bit.

    Hello Dan,.

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I understand that you get the message that the aero effects are not supported by your video card. I would help you with the question. However, I would be grateful if you could answer a few questions to refine the question in order to provide you with better assistance.

    1. What is the edition of Windows 7 installed on your computer (Home Premium, professional, Ultimate etc.)?
    2. What is the brand and model number. your computer?
    3. What is the exact message you get?

    The question could arise if Windows 7 is not compatible with the version of the driver or if the driver you are using, in particular, does not supports the Aero effects.

    I would suggest trying the following methods and check if the problem persists.

    Method 1:

    Run the next fixit and then re-run the assessment. Check if it is useful.

  • P2V then "an IDE controller is found, but the VM does not support the option.

    I am very new for ESX and ESXi.

  • The document _ is on a volume that does not support the permanent version storage.  You will not be able to access older versions of this document once you close.

    I recently started getting this strange message, usually when a Pages document is closed:

    «The document _ is on a volume that does not support the permanent version storage.»  You can access older versions of this document once you close. »

    All my research (apple.com and on the internet) have not enabled all the information on this message.

    Hi Larry,

    The 'volume' is a hard disk, a partition on a hard drive or a storage as a USB device.

    OS X automatically saves your document frequent while you work on it. If the volume of the device / it records on a summer formatted to allow 'versioning', you will be able to use Time Machine to open previous versions of your document. If it has not been formatted like that, you get the message see you, and only the current version of the document will be saved.

  • Does not support the Iphone 4

    I have an Iphone 4 and I was about to download this new app called Kylie and Kendall. I scrolled down to see what IOS, it supports and it says it's compatible with the IOS 7 Ipad, Iphone or Ipod so I was really excited to download and play. Long story short, after I downloaded it, I opened the app, and it started to load, but then he said "does not support the Iphone 4. I was really disappointed and sad, I was wondering why it says it's compatible with the IOS 7 and later, but apparently not. Because when I clicked on it says that it is not. That actually makes the loose money app and glory because owners of the Iphone 4 can be the game. Please someone tell me why he cannot support Iphone 4 or an expert in this company help us users of the Iphone 4. This isn't the only time where it happened to me happens to me in several applications, but I don't really understand this situation. Please help someone!

    This has nothing to do with Apple or iphone.

    You will need to contact the developer of the app and ask them what the issue is, or look at their support site.

  • Why the new cRIO-9076 does not support the scanning engine?

    I spec'd a new chassis cRIO-9076 spiffy but learned that, despite its impressive capabilities, it does not support the analytical engine.
