[SOLVED] Malfunction of copy & paste in Win.8.1 vitual machine (VMware)

Recommended Posts

I've been using VMware Workstation 10 in my host system, which is Windows 7 x64.

Got 2 virtual machines :

1./ with Windows XP,

2./ with Windows 8.1.

What upsets me a lot - Lately I experience problems with exporting files from Win. 8.1 virtual machine to the host. (importing works fine all the time). What upsets me even more - sometimes the copy & paste function works properly, but it happens exceptionally rarely.

In Windows XP machine everything works great.

Could you please, give me some hints how to resolve a problem in Win. 8.1 virtual system.

I would be very grateful.

have you installed VMware tools on your Windows 8.1 VM ?

I know the Tools are necessary for this feature.

[EDIT] YES, VMware Tools are installed.

Guest isolation is set the same way as in your pic.

But your VMware Tools are on "Time sync - ON" while mine are set to OFF (not by me - I've never touched those settings) .

Since VMware Tools are essential - maybe somewhere there is a place where a culprit hides...

Could you post a screenshot with VMware Tools tab open, please.
