I tried the latest stable Ultra-VNC viewer but I am getting the same results. &nbsp;I am going to uninstall and reinstall the VMware tools to see if that makes a difference. &nbsp;

The solution to this was to uninstall and reinstall the VMware tools. &nbsp; &nbsp;The same version was re-installed &nbsp;but the first one must have been messed up./ &nbsp;Thanks!

I have a PC with vmware workstation v6 installed. &nbsp;I have a virtual machine XP sp2 with a PS2 mouse configured. &nbsp;This virtual machine has &quot;Enable Remote Display&quot; configured with port 5900. &nbsp;No matter what I try I cannot get a remote mouse to work.

The Control Panel lists the mouse as a normal PS2 mouse

I have a PC with vmware workstation v6 installed.  I have a virtual machine XP sp2 with a PS2 mouse configured.  This virtual machine has "Enable Remote Display" configured with port 5900.  No matter what I try I cannot get a remote mouse to work. Instead i get a small hollow square for a cursor and it doesnt work on the VMware instance.  Help I need to give my remote users access to this virtual machine.

No remote mouse on Vmware Workstation with built-in VNC

Remote access may refer to the connection to a data-processing system from a remote location, for example through a virtual private network remote desktop software, terminal emulation, or the activation of features of a business telephone system from outside the business's premises.

Remote Access

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
