Separate Keyboard and Mouse for Virtual Desktop

Pungdo — Tue, 17 Nov 2020 06:34:40 GMT

Hi all, I have been setting up a virtual machine for my daughter to use on my desktop computer, I have everything working, but I want to add a separate Keyboard and Mouse for her to use.

I found an article telling e how to do it, but even after following it to a T it doesn't work and only gives me a "corrupted file" message when I try to start the VMWare Workstation.

This is the article I used. Article Here

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Kindest Regards

Paul Cade

Got it sorted, it would appear that no changes need to be made to the software at all, just a couple of settings to be made.

Consider this closed.
