Extend VMRC window on several screens

Hello,

I want to access a machine with a resolution of 2560 * 1024. I am on a laptop with an external display. The 2 screens are in 1920 * 1080. 
I would like to visualize the whole of the vm but I can not enlarge the vmrc beyond the size of a screen that is 1920 * 1080.

Thank you for your help

Let me know the host OS you're running so I can look into this. Resizing a VMRC window on Windows and Linux will change the remote VM's resolution to fit the new window size if VMware Tools is running.

I am on windows 7 professional.

Concerning the modification of the remote VM's resolution when resizing a VMRC window, I have observed this. For now, I deleted the resolutionSet DLL to get rid of this problem. If you have another solution ...

We're tracking this behavior with ticket 2015352. Workstation allows remote VM windows to be resized to the edges of multiple monitors if the VM's video card has sufficient RAM.

Workstation only or VMRC too?
