VMWare Workstation Stretch Guest disabled


Why can a VM only have three virtual IDE disks at most in VMware Workstation?VMware workstation windows host shared folders issuean issue with VMWare Workstation 10 and three monitors“Install vmware tools” grayed out windows 8.1 guest, Linux host vmware workstation 12VMware Workstation: CPU disabled by guest operating systemVMware Workstation guest, can't get above 1176x885VMWare Workstation Pro: “Shut down guest” does “Poweroff” insteadDoes docker work correctly in a Ubuntu guest virtual machine of VMware Workstation?













2















I have Windows 8.1 Pro, in which VMWare Workstation 10.03 is installed. The guest system I use there is Ubuntu 14.04. VMWare tools are installed on the Guest System and I ofen use shared folders with no problems.



The problem I have is that the resolution of my screen is so high that it's impossible to work with full resolution. So I want to use the option Stretch Guest in the virtual machine, so that I could have items visible. But... the Stretch Guest option is disabled (grayed out).



Why is it disabled? What should I do to enable it?



Thanks.

  • @UltraDEVV Autofit changes the resolution, and I don't want to change the resolution. I just want to stretch the selected resolution.

The menu item View>Autosize>Stretch Guest is only enabled in full-screen mode (circa Workstation 12.5).



Tangent: You can set "stretch" as default for full-screen mode with the "Stretch Guest" radio button in Edit>Preferences>Displays.
