I'm using the free VMware Player 3.1.1 and the Unity menu is disabled. Any ideas why?

Host is Windows 7 (Pro) 32-bit. Guest is Windows XP (converted to VMware from Windows XP Mode Virtual PC guest).

I've tried removing and reinstalling the VMware tools and restarting the Guest O/S and installed all 52 Windows XP updates. No love :(

It's also greyed out when the VMWare Player is in fullscreen mode. – Syntax Error Jun 3 '11 at 4:59

Discovered by accident that it's enabled only in my primary Monitor (despite the fact that one of my secondary monitor's is identical to my primary).

When I happened to move the Vmware Player Windows to my primary, the Enable Unity option was enabled. (Did a little A/B/A test to verify that).
