Cant copy and paste (VMware 10.0.4 build-2249910)

hello,

I'm using windows 8.1 as my main, and have installed virtual Knoppix.

However, I cant copy and paste from my host (windows 8.1) to knoppix in VMware (via cd rom boot).. I want to copy paste my bash script from main windows to virtual knoppix.

I have tried some solutions from this thread:

cant copy/paste from guest to host

but it seems like solution is not working on vmWare 10.0.4...

I need to get it sorted urgently so that I can work on my project, any help would be appreciated.

Same for me (same VMware build) with Win 7 Pro host and Win 7 Ultimate VM.  The steps in comment 20 of that thread you referenced worked to resolve the issue for me.

I really, really wish they'd fix this. Having to shut down vmware workstation completely to get the clipboard functions back is really annoying.
