VMPlayer window too small

[ClaGe]

Hi,

I recently installed VMplayer 3.0.0 build-203739 on my Vista machine.

When I start the player I get an initial screen (see attachment) but this screen is too small to see all the contents.

I feel stupid, but is there a way to enlarge this windows?

Thanx.

Have you installed the VMware Tools in the guest yet?

I repost a good answer from the guy called PSL007:

VMware player, server, console view,

workstation, all of them map pixels in 1:1 relation between virtaul

display and host screen. When you have MS-DOS screen, it is 80x25

characters, it is about 640x400. And when it is displayed at high

resolution screen like 1024x600, MS-DOS widows of virtual machine could

be very small; and there is no way to change size of VMware screen. I

think, the easiest way will be to invent zoom view, 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x; it

could be fast to map every pixel from virtual PC to 1, 4, 9, 16 pixels

at real screen. More advanced solution will allow to resize VMware

screen to any size but it needs interpolations, etc, a lot of

computation power and the result could be confusing.

Based on the image the OP attached I don't think this has anything to do with VMware Tools and comparing my attached image to VMPlayer.jpg is what I think the OP is wanting.

I repost a good answer from the guy called PSL007:

I don't think this has anything to do with the OP's issue as it's the VMware Player Application GUI that is the issue not the running Virtual Machine and I base that on what the OP said in conjunction with the image attached by the OP and compared to the on I posted.

is there a way to enlarge this windows?

No, at least not through the VMware Player GUI, and if you look at the image I posted you'll see the information that is not being displayed compared to yours however I do not have a definitive answer to your issue, sorry.

Have you tried changing Host Display Resolutions and or Font Sizes?

Have you tried uninstalling/reinstalling VMware Player?

And now we have 4k 24" Screens.. Some inbuild zoom is needed..
