full screen mode doesn't work

FabioRaff Aug 29, 2008 8:27 AM

I installed VMware Server 2.0 RC2 and everything is going right. When i double click on Console to see the virtual OS i need, it appears a window in the centre of the screen that shows the virtual OS, and it's ok..but when i double click on this window to see the virtual OS in full screen mode, i see the desktop behind the window become black, but the virtual machine OS window doesn't enlarge and remains in original size..and it's very inconvenient...how can i do??

Thank You

Fabio

FabioRaff,

You don't say anything about what OSs you are running - host and guest?

When mine does this, I need to set the screen resolution to the native resolution of my monitor - works great.

Enjoy, John.

Host and Guest Systems:
Windows XP Pro x64 Edition;
VMware Server 2.0.0RC2, Build 110949

Have you got VMware tools installed in the guest virtual machine? This certainly helps with screen related issues with Windows guests.

Hi,

i'm sorry if i didn't say anything about my guest and host OS, you were right. Anyway i found the solution setting the right screen resolution of host OS, and everything works great!

Thank you to all !!!

Bye
