I didn't say that the mouse isn't working. Mouse integration isn't. I have to hit my hot key combination to get it out of the window. But I did remove and re-add the controller and that didn't work. As for the monitor it works. I provided the name of the package I had to install from the software center, xf86-video-vmware. Is there no fix for the file share?

@bluefirestorm That worked however I wasn't getting the correct resolution sizes. The highest was 1280x768. I found xf86-video-vmware under software station and that worked to get me full video. Also copy and paste is working. Mouse integration isn't working and I can't get file sharing to work either although drag and drop works. I tried following this article but first it tells me that downloads is of an unknown file type and when I try to select caja or open it up from file view it tells me that it can't find /media/Downloads. vmware tools shows as a startup process and when I tried to start it manually I got that it is already running. root@ghostbsd-vm:~ # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/vmware-guestd start vmware_guestd already running? (pid=176). So what do I need to do to get mouse and shares? I found py39-oslo.vmware in the software station. Do I need that? Here is the usage document: https://docs.openstack.org/oslo.vmware/latest/user/usage.html

I found and installed the package from software station. When I tried to install vmware tools again I got this root@ghostbsd-vm:/tmp/vmware-tools-distrib # ./vmware-install.pl A previous installation of VMware Tools has been detected.   The previous installation was made by the tar installer (version 4).   Keeping the tar4 installer database format.   You have a version of VMware Tools installed.  Continuing this install will first uninstall the currently installed version.  Do you wish to continue?

I tried the install vmware tools option again and got the right file however when I tried the install I got that I must insall the compat6x-amd64 package. I tried this but when I got to the pkg_add part it says command not found. I've never used bsd before. How do I do this?

Even though I was able to get the guest to access the drive I started receiving errors that it couldn't access the volume and when I got that I had to reboot so I removed the drive. Vmware said that there are inconsistencies in the volume. Any idea what's wrong?

The drive doesn't have a drive letter but no matter what options I selected during set up with the drive type or if I would select the option of using the entire drive or select the partition I kept getting an error message that the drive is in use. Then I saw under computer management an offline option. After marking it as offline and rebooting now it works. I get prompted for admin password when I start the VM but that's minor.

I remembered that I almost deleted a couple of the folders for sharepoint and sql server earlier today while clearing off space. Apparently I did delete most of the contents so I'm going to have to convert the hard drive again.

Well I was able to figure out how to share however now I can't connect to sharepoint server which is the reason why I converted it. I am receiving the error Cannot connect to the configuration database. It was working before the share. I removed the sharing and disabled server sharing and I am still getting that error message. I even tried locally on the VM and I am still getting that error message. Any ideas what the sharing would have changed?

dariusd I don't need to access the VMs remotely. I only need to be able to access the processes remotely. I'm not understanding that KB. How do I get the VM to autostart and run in the background without being logged in on the host system.
