Problem on graphic resolution

[Schoolwerth]

Hi,

I've installed Windows 10 PRO on Fusion 8.0.2, on a IMac 27" Retina display, the system seems to work correctly, but the resolution of the virtual machine is poor

and the Virtual Machine doesn't fit the display when I select full screen mode.

I tried to changhe monitor settings on Virtual Machine settings Menu , but none of the options seems to work.

In the Monitor menu there is  a warning that show this message:

in Italian

"L'accelerazione 3D richiede l'aggiornamento di VMware Strumenti su questa macchina virtuale."

english translation by me...

"the 3D accelerator requires an upgrade of VMware Tools in this virtual machine"

My System Info are:

I previously had a VM on a Imac 27" nonRetina with WinXP , and I didn't had this kind of problem. 

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Stefano.

Hello,

Did you install VMware Tools? The last screenshot looks like it hasn't been installed at all.

From the Virtual Machine menu in Fusion, select "Install VMware Tools" and if nothing happens, navigate to the DVD-rom in the virtual machine and select setup to install VMware Tools (not that if your Windows 10 is 64 bits you should select setup64 instead)

Then follow the steps to install VMware Tools.

If the Virtual Machine menu in Fusion says "Reinstall VMware Tools" then .. don't select it as an uninstall/reinstall is much more reliable, so instead:

- Uninstall VMware Tools from the Control Panel

- reboot the guest OS

- Install VMware Tools as described before
