I can't make Workstation 7.1.1 work with dual monitors properly. When I click "Cycle multiple monitors" button, I get the same sized screen as my primary monitor, just centered between the two monitors with black bars on each side. Is there something I am missing?
I had the same problem with 7.1.0. However, I was able to fix it by installing some older VMWare Tools video driver on the guest. I found the link to the driver on these forums. I can't seem to find it anymore. I did try checking and unchecking the Autofit Guest checkbox under View menu.
Also, under 7.1.0 the dual monitor setup never worked with Java programs. When I run any Java program, I get the second monitor image corrupted. It becomes a slowly refreshing (once every few seconds) copy of the one part of the primary monitor. Some time after the Java app is closed, the problem goes away.
I am running Windows 7 64bit host and Windows XP 32bit guest.
If you look in VM settings->Hardware->Display, what is that set to? If it is not set to "Use host setting for monitors", could you change it and then try full screen again?
Yes, that setting has been properly set from get-go.
Anyway, it looks like either it took two restarts from VMWare Tools upgrade or a restart from setting Autofit Guest, but it's working now.
Any word on that Java issue?
