Found this out the hard way doing a demo this morning. I am using VMWare Workstation 6.5 running on Windows 7 Ultimate. The guest OS is Windows Server 2003. The issue is the mouse pointer actual location was not the same as where the pointer was on the screen (a parallax error).
I’ve rebooted both OS’s and ensured the screen resolutions made sense.
The issue appears to be with the host OS, Windows 7. For demo’s I often increase the font scaling of both my guest and host operating systems, so things are readable on projector screens. The moment I restored the Windows 7 (host) font scaling back down to 100% everything was fine.
