VMWare View slow dragging windows when using dual monitors

[JoshuaMcCann]

I'm experiencing very slow dragging of windows from one monitor to the other when using VMWare View Client. I've followed all the documentation on setting up dual montiors in VMWare View and I've removed the background images, setup Windows 7 to configured the video settings for best performance. Not sure if I'm missing something. Please help.

What version of View are you running and what kind of client is it?

There are some known problems with powersave-settings affecting some clients.

VMware View Client Version: 5.2.1 build- 937772

Client: Windows 7 Enterprise SP1

I've removed all power saving options and I followed the documentation on Optimizing Windows 7 guest Operating System Performance to the "T".

Thanks Mohammed that fixed my problem. Strange that I'm running 5.2 not 5.1 but either way my problem is solved. Thanks again.
