• Where are the tools for Firefox 11

  I took the habit of the AutoFill feature in the navigation bar of the browser. I've updated to v11.0 and I can't find a tools option. Number 1, where is the button tools and number 2, how to activate the auto-fill feature?

  Thanks

  I guess that you have upgraded to Firefox 3.6, no doubt? With Firefox 4 and newer, the Tools menu has been moved. If you click on the big orange "Firefox" button in the upper left corner of your window, you can see the button 'Option '. This is the same option window you had in the Tools menu with the older Firefox. If it does not, press the ALT on your keyboard. Which will bring up a temporary menu like older versions of Firefox.

  Now for your second option, I assume you mean AutoComplete forms. You can read all about it in the latest version of Firefox at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Form-autocomplete

• How to launch and use the VMware tools

  After installing 2008r2 as a virtual machine and install VMware Tools, I am unable to open the tools and use them.  I did two days of searching, and I can't find an answer to my problem.    Downstairs is an action I took, but I would appreciate any help from the community.

  Purpose:

  Laboratory at home training and certification.

  Hardware environment: (based on "Chris Wahl" home Build Lab)

  SuperMicro Motherboard MBD-X10SLH-F-O

  Intel Xeon E3-1230 v3 3.30 GHz processor with 32 GB of ram

  Software environment:

  64-bit version of Windows 7 Professional, host operating system

  VMware Workstation 10 with all updates installed with administrator privileges

  VM #2: vSphere 5.1 install

  VM #1: The Windows 2008R2 VM I have a problem with VMware tools.

  I've deleted and rebuilt the two VM three times now, thinking it was my environment somehow.  ESXi 5.1 works although I have not built anything there yet.  I am able to access this part of the laboratory fine of vSphere Client.

  VMware Tools:

  Within the Services of VM 2008 I can see VMware Tools started service, the icon in the system tray notification area and see the files on the C: drive of the virtual computer, but there is no way to open it.

  I followed several links to create a virtual laboratory, but should not be this hard to run a program.  It's my first time that you try to use VMware tools, but I'm following the steps in the lab below install procedures.

  In the middle of the page of "Blog Editor" part 4 "build the ultimate vSphere Lab is where it installs the VMware tool and lowest after restarting Windows Update service I'm stuck to the next step."

  "Open VMware Tools, go to the Shrink ."  Click on the button of the prepare to shrink . »

  ?  How to "open the VMware Tools?

  Now on the path I have searched for and deleted and reinstalled the tools, but always without success.

  Here is a link where I found the following measures to be taken, but it doesn't work either.  The "NOTE" at the bottom, it's something I noticed and made sure was right when I installed the last time tools.

  I even found a link to where you can download the tools separately from the ISO files, and yet, it does not work.  A LITTLE HELP PLEASE!

  http://www.vdsyn.com/Windows-2008-R2-virtual-machine-VMware-tools-shows-not-running-current-after-vmotionsnapshot-operations-randomly/

  So next step that we did was
  1 uninstalled VMware Tools in the virtual machine
  2 restarted the VM
  3. manually deleted/renamed the C:\Program VMware Tools
  4. manually deleted/renamed C:\Programdata\VMware\VMware tools
  5 Rebooted
  6. install the VMware tools
  7 Rebooted

  The issue is not reproducible after the same

  
  NOTE: Make sure that the virtual computer CD player points to the correct image.  I found it always go back to the windows 7 iso image on my C: drive from physical machines to where the image 2008r2 was on drive E:

  No need to reinstall again. You're not missing something. VMware has changed the VMware Tools tray and removed options that were available in previous versions. Take a look at for example experience front of VMware: The VMware Tools GUI is gone - now what? with some information about this change and the replacement of the command line.

• The VMware Tools installation cannot be started manually while Easy Install is in progress.

  When I try to install Vmware tools I agree... "" The VMware Tools installation cannot be started manually while Easy Install is underway "and I can't find out how to disable the easy installation and I am sure that its even not used because the operating system is in place and working well.  I searched the forum and google, but in vain :/  I'm running Ubuntu 9.10.

  If you have autoinst.flp in the VM directory - rename

  If you have autoinst.iso in the VM directory - rename

  where these files are present and/or configured in the vmx - the virtual machine will be launched in automatic installation mode that prevents the connection files iso vmware-tools

• Update the VMware Tools without installing gcc

  Hello everyone,

  I have a couple of boxes Debian and Ubuntu (& gt; 100) in various race DMZ. When I am updating the linux kernel, I have to update the VMware tools as well. My problem is that these boxes are not allowed to have an Internet connection and an installed gcc.

  Does anyone has an idea how Handel who? Is it not possible to have a central host where the new version of VMware tools are compiled and one can distribute them to other boxes?

  Thanks in advance!

• Where are the handles to change the width of the circles?

  Well, Adobe keeps adding useless "feautures" Illustrator and with each update, I found myself faced with some cool new "development".

  So please help me out here: when I create a circle with the latest version of Illustrator - where are the handles to change the width?

  I know that you can recover the corners, but that could also change the height and is not accurate. And you can also just type the width you want in the properties of the object or use the transformation tool. But this is not the point.

  Adobe really removed the feature or I'm blind to find?

  Also: ADOBE BRING CURVE HANDLES ALIGNMENT ON THE GRID!

  Object > shape > expand shape changes it back to the old style, make an action,

  or do what I did--make a keyboard shortcut.

  So when you draw the direct form, hit the shortcut key and you are back to the old behavior of form in a second dish

  
  

  Edit > keyboard shortcuts > Menu commands > object > shape > expand the form .

  then in the first box on the right, click on it, select and press a key on the keyboard, I choose F9, OK and name it.

• Update only the vmware tools?

  Hi all

  
  Recently we received BSOD on server 2012. Microsoft is continuing its investigation, but it seems likely vmxnet3 drivers are involved. Therefore, we would like to update.

  However, given that we are now very busy on a project, we would like to avoid completely updated vcenter and ESX (if possible). So my question is, can we day purely VMXNET3 driver to the latest version on our virtual machine? Or maybe only the VMWare tools? Or is there a possibility for stability/performance issues if you do not keep everything on the same version?

  
  Thanks in advance!

• Installation of the VMware tools on PCLinuxOS comments

  Hi all

  I started to play with VMware player (version 6.0.3). I made a new virtual machine and install PCLinuxOS on it. I now want to install VMware tools on this comment, so I click on the drive-> manage-> install VMware tools. However, nothing seems to happen, and I've waited more than an hour. When I click on the drive-> manage according to me, it is said (download VMware tools). The host and the VM guest have access to internet. Could be blocking download, or in any way I can solve the problem? Thank you very much for your help - J

  You are running on Windows or Linux, VMware Player host? If you are running on the WIndows host, download the file: http://softwareupdate.vmware.com/cds/vmw-desktop/player/6.0.3/1895310/windows/packages/tools-linux-9.6.2.exe.tar

  Extract the. EXE file and run it. EXE file on host it will silently install the ISO Images of VMware Tools in the working directory of VMware Player.

  After that, try to reinstall the VMware Tools on VM, simply go to the menu player-> manage-> install VMware Tools.

• The VMware Tools ISO image does not exist or is not accessible

• Where to download VMWare Tools

  Where can I download the VMWare tools that work with Ubuntu 11.04?

  JSYK Ubuntu 11.04 is not a supported load (or host) guest OS in VMware Workstation 6.0.4 and I don't know if the version of VMware Tools in VMware Workstation 7.1.4 will work properly with VMware Workstation 6.0.4 However either first backup the VM or take a snapshot and you can try with the next file.

• Rule gold for the resettlement of the VMWare Tools?

  "The VMware Tools package includes a display driver that has been optimized for the guest operating system running in a virtual machine."

  KB http://bit.ly/bdXGhX

  Is this compatible with the other components of tools? This makes me think that the only factors that affect installation tools are the guest operating system and the host operating system, but that doesn't seem fair to me.

  I wonder what situations dictate that the tools be reinstalled on an existing virtual machine?  For example:

  VM moves a version of workstation player, ESXi, to another (5 WS WS 6, ESX ESX 3.5 3.0). Some requiring the use of the converter except with worms backward compatibility.

  VM moves product i.e. ESXi on workstation, the desktop player. I think that this is supported only through the help of converter, but sometimes operates independently.

  VM moves from machine A to machine B / Server A, Server B both using the same product. (Share/copy a virtual machine)

  Move VM includes change of machine and version.

  Put VM at level in a newer version of the workstation.

  etc...

  In my experience sometimes changes invites for a relocation/development tools while other times there are no complaints of the virtual machine. If the performance takes a hit seems to be hit or miss, and it reduces the field to tools is difficult because of the variety of hardware and software factors. The only advice that I seem to be able to find is "install VMWare Tools".

  Hello

  Sorry did not read the article linked, but...

  Is this compatible with the other components of tools? This makes me think that the only factors that affect installation tools are the guest operating system and the host operating system, but that doesn't seem fair to me.

  No, it's not, the VMware product and version used also play an important role.

  Rule of thumb here is that you want to keep the version of VMware Tools in sync. While their is certainly backwards compatibility, there is no guarantee that it will work well if not a match.

  VM moves a version of workstation player, ESXi, to another (5 WS WS 6, ESX ESX 3.5 3.0). Some requiring the use of the converter except with worms backward compatibility.

  If you move between the major releases of the product you want to reinstall VMware Toools

  VM moves product i.e. ESXi on workstation, the desktop player. I think that this is supported only through the help of converter, but sometimes operates independently.

  If you keep the main synchronized versions then it usually works very well. So you can move a machine virtual merger 3.0.x to workstation 7.0.x for Server 2.0.x (even to vSphere ESX) without reinstalling VMware Tools. With vSphere, this depends somewhat on the guest like e.g. vSphere can't stand aero, so you would have no problem to a VM Win7 native of vSphere Workstation, but a native Win7 VM from Workstation to vSphere his video card driver needs changed.

  VM moves from machine A to machine B / Server A, Server B both using the same product. (Share/copy a virtual machine)

  Normally, no relocation is necessary if the VMware product is at the same level of review.

  Move VM includes change of machine and version.

  See previous answer

  Put VM at level in a newer version of the workstation.

  It depends on... most of the time a newer version of the product VMware also upgraded to a newer version of VMware Tools, but it is not completely 1 on 1.

  > The only advice that I seem to be able to find is "install VMWare Tools".

  That's good advice, but it is not always necessary.

  Hope this helps,

• How to activate the shared folders in the VMware tools

  I'm running a Windows 2003 Server EE guest x 64 OS in a virtual machine hosted by ESXi 3.5 u4 build 199239. VMware tools have been updated to the latest version for this build ESX.  In the VMware Tools Properties GUI the shared folders tab says "shared folders are currently disabled on the host computer.  Please see VMware documentation to find out how to activate it. "I searched all the VMware Documentation and have not found the answer to this question.

  The shared folders functionality is not supported by the ESX Server or GSX server, but is enabled when you install VMware Tools with the complete option. The feature is not enabled when you install VMware Tools with the typical option in respect of these products.
