I am using VMWare Workstation10.0.1 on a Windows 8.1 host and a Windows Server 2008 R2 guest. Drag and Drop does not seam to work between the guest and host. Copy and Paste does work, just not drag and drop. Drag and Drop "Does" work with a Windows 7 guest.
I have checked and tried the following:
I just bought VMWare Worksation 33 days ago, so I am 3 days out of support.
Any ideas?
Thanks in Advance.

Did you completely uninstall, not do a repair, and then reinstall VMware Tools?

Seriously grace27 I wish you'd stop posting so much crap! I assume you're sincerely trying to help however much of what you post isn't helpful and often not even applicable to the issue! RedBaaron is having a DnD issue with one VM in particular, the other works okay... So RDP is not the solution! Uninstalling VMware Tools, not repairing as it rarely ever fixes an issue, then reinstalling VMware Tools is the appropriate reply to his issue!

After a re-install of the VMWare tools I was able to drag and drop files in and out of the VM. I guess a "repair" just didn't do it.
Thanks!!!
I guess a "repair" just didn't do it.
While selecting Repair may work in some cases, I personally haven't ever had a repair install work and have always had to uninstall, not repair and then reinstall. So I don't waste time anymore trying to repair and just immediately uninstall/reinstall!
