VMware Workstation is not grabbing input

[compstuck]

I'm using VMware Workstation and I  can't get the VM to grab my mouse  input when I click on the window or  press ctrl+g. If I manually add  the mouse or keyboard as a device to the  VM it works fine but not if I click on the VM window  (which is what i really need). This started after I formatted my computer and re-installed Windows 7 with SP1 updates so it might be the SP1 updates which broke it..         

I'm running Ubuntu inside Windows 7.

Any help?

Hello compstuck,

Thanks for posting and sorry to hear you have a problem with WS 8.

To speed-up investigation, could you please give us more info:

1. Workstation version and Build# (Help->About)

2. Please attach UI Log (Help->About->UI log file) and vmware.log file from the VM's directory.

---------------

Cheers
