Copy Paste and screen sizing not working for one guest Linux user on Win 7 pro host

[ChernysBen]

VMware® Workstation 15 Pro

The linux guest is cent-os 6.6.

Host in Win 7 pro.

When I sign on as root all works well, that is the screen can be sized any way I like (4k monitor) and copy and paste works completely.

When I sign on as a different user (also an admin), screen sizing does not work at all unless I use the guest to select specific sizes.  Copy and paste does not work at all.

ALL files for vmware on the guest have at least r set for all

Very inconvenient and was happening in previous workstation versions.

Any help would be appreciated.

Assuming that you have already read this article VMware Knowledge Base . The instructions on  How to Install open-vm-tools in CentOS 6.6 seem to be outdated, it seems that open-vm-tools is on the CentOS extras repos. However it seems that you additionally have to edit VM setting, as per the last entry on this CentOS forum post https://forums.centos.org/viewtopic.php?t=52527

Also, it seems CentOS 6 end of support is in 5 months.

Hopefully someone with more CentOS experience will provide more help.
