help with vmware

[nobody999]

hi,
i downloaded vmplayer, and installed it fine....but the problem i have is the screen size, when i maximize the screen size, it does maximize the screen but the actual display of a website is not maximized...i've read and read their help files but nothing.....do i have to get the vm workstation instead??
thanks

I run VM Workstation 7.1 (Registered)
I have never dealt with VM Player.
BUT.......

In Workstation when I press the "Full Screen" button on the Workstation menu bar the client machine resizes to full screen.
Then I resize my browser window to whatever size I want to by click/hold/drag on the edges of the browser, just like I would any program.


Is that what you are talking about or did I read your post incorrectly?

yes, exactly what i'm talking about....but i am not able to drag the edge of the browser window....it doesnt allow me....perhaps i need to get the workstation.
ps- do you run VM from a new window login?

Next time you ask for help, add what version you are using. I take it you downloaded the program & did a reboot?

You can run vmplayer without workstation

any difference in how the os is run and seen between vmplayer and vmware 7.01 ?

[Stigger]

you can do much more with workstation but i think the problem above should be the same for both.

there is a few issues with vmware, maybe use virtual machine or sun

seeeee yaaaaa!
