Basically, as the titles says I've got a Windows 7 host, with VMWare installed. I'm using VMware 7.1.3 and everything works fine apart from one thing.

Recently (literally today) for no obvious reason the copy and paste clipboard between the host and virtual machine has stopped working. I reinstalled the vmware tools on the guest and the vmware tools are running as I've done /etc/init.d vmware-tools start.

Can anyone think of any reason why the copy/paste between the two systems would stop working and how to fix it?

  • Yeah this brings up the toolbox but doesn't appear to do a lot else

Just created a new virtual machine in the end, really stumped, but it fixed it!
