Hi All,
Not strictly a PLC question but like myself, a lot of you will use VMWare workstation pro.
I have an issue where I use VCenter converter to virtualize a physical machine and when I open it up in workstation pro, the resolution is set to 800x600.
When I change my screen resolution in the 'Screen resolution' menu of control panel in the actual VM, the VM becomes increasingly slower and unresponsive the further I go up the list. It runs great at 800x600 but is borderline unusable due to the size of the screen. Larger resolution looks great but runs horribly!
I've messed with all the obvious settings:
1) Changed appearance settings to favor performance in the VM settings.
2) Upped the allocated graphics memory to 8gb in Virtual Machine settings/Display of VM workstation.
3) Defragged the VM disk
4) Allocated 16gb of memory (VMWare recommends 2gb).
I know my way around VM ware to get online with equipment but other than that I'm a bit clueless.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
