I'm trying to use VMware workstation on my windows 7 x64 based machine, and use two keyboards and two mice at the same time. I'm wanting to be able to play two PC games at the same time, one on the PC itself using the original mouse/keyboard, and second mouse/keyboard to use on a virtual machine.
I've followed this guide, http://forums.techpowerup.com/showthread.php?t=123452
I get to this point
"Go to removable devices and check the USB KB and Mouse for the second OS.
IF IT DOESN'T WORK. unplugged both and connect them both again at the same time.
The "Automatically connect new USB devices option" will connect them."
But the second mouse/keyboard does not work. It doesn't do anything. I've tried restarting the pc multiple times, I've tried unplugging and replugging my wireless usb sensor, nothing.
It works fine, until I go to VM>Removable Devices>And hit connect (disconnect from host) then the second mouse/keyboard quits doing anything, and wont do anything in the virtual machine.
Would be awesome to get this to work, I spent nearly $200 on this software just for this function. If I can't get it work I have zero use for this software.
My pc is an AMD 3.4ghz quad core with 8gigs of memory, it's overclocked to 4.2ghz. It has more then enough speed to run two games at once, hell I've ran 4 copies of world of warcraft before without issues, but that was just using one mouse/keyboard.
If I can get this to work, I plan on purchasing a second video card, just so I can have all the speed I'd ever need. But right now I'm stuck. I've spent hours and hours reading and trying to get this to work, and I'm at a stand still right now.
