VMWare View Problems

I am having an issue with a Windows 7 machine that is in a vmware virtual machine environment. I can open a console for the virtual machine in question on my vSphere Client and change my display settings fine; however, when I go to a thin client and connect via my VMWare View Client I am unable to change my display settings. It gives me an error that states “Some settings are managed by your administrator”. I do not understand why I have access via the console, but not in the view connection. Any Ideas? I am trying to get my dual screen to work.

I'm thinking it is because you are using RDP to connect into the machine through the View Client. I believe ou need to set the display properties in the View client properties.

I am currently using the PCOIP protocol. I received the following from VMWare; however, it does not work...

- Settings tab is missing in the Display control panel of a PCoIP connected virtual machine

Still trying to figure this thing out...Windows 7 has tooo many security features.
