I find I am currently unable to run Mageia 3 inside VMWare 10 workstation. I cannot move the cursor outslde the Mageia window. Is there a fix for this?

If you press Ctrl+Alt to un-grab the mouse, can you move the cursor outside the window again?

Thanks, that works. Also the screen was made larger by going into screen resolution and increasing to 1400 by 1050.

Note: This doesn't have anything to do with Mageia, that's basic VMWare handling. Also see e.g. http://pubs.vmware.com/workstation-10/i ... 4356A.html

Please mark the thread accordingly by editing the topic of the first post and prefix it by [SOLVED], thanks
