Hello,
I am running Windows 7 Pro in Fusion 8.5.3, all on MacOS 10.12.3. For several months I have been unable to either drag and drop, or copy, files from the Windows guest OS to the Mac OS. When I try, the Windows OS, about a second after releasing the file on the Mac side, shows a blue screen with the main error "BAD_POOL_HEADER" (see attached screenshot).
What I know:
- Drag and Drop & Copy and Paste options are both enabled in Fusion Options > Isolation
- I can successfully drag and drop, and copy, files the other way (Mac to Windows guest).
- I have repeated several times a clean install of VMWare Tools (uninstall via Control Panel, reboot, install, reboot), but it has not resulted in any change.
- I have had one other type of unusual behaviour from Windows within Fusion that may help indicate the problem. When I connect a USB drive (any USB drive recently) to the Windows 7 within Fusion, Fusion displays a message that the device was unable to connect to its ideal host controller. I am just starting to explore this problem- I don't know if the two issues are related.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you,
Rob
