Hi.

Many of you people may know VMware, ̶t̶̶h̶̶e̶̶ ̶̶f̶̶r̶̶e̶̶e̶̶ ̶̶m̶̶i̶̶c̶̶r̶̶o̶̶s̶̶o̶̶f̶̶t̶̶ ̶̶v̶̶i̶̶r̶̶t̶̶u̶̶a̶̶l̶̶ ̶̶p̶̶c̶̶ ̶̶m̶̶a̶̶c̶̶h̶̶i̶̶n̶̶e̶, that allows you to play an OS like a program inside your native OS.

Inside my VMware, DesktopWidth() returns false values. My Screen resolution is 1280x800, the VMware has a size of 1280x704 (maximized) but inside the VMware, installed PureBasic's function DesktopWidth(#Null) returns 1085. DesktopHeight(#Null) returns 737!

Help?

I use VMware Player from VMware, Inc. and I find that DesktopWidth() & DesktopHeight() return correct values from inside the emulator.

VMware and Windows Virtual PC (Download) are different products by different companies.

And i meant VMWare, by VMware Inc., not the Microsoft product. Sorry.

It makes no difference, virtual machine or not, the values of desktopwidth always accurat.
Only, there is a error in desktopmanager, but for windows, this is impossible.

I'm not lying. Tomorrow I'll send you a screenshot from work.

Here's the screen:

And this values not correct? You have to compare this values, with the setting in "Systemsteuerung".

Seems to me to be right. Check screen settings inside the VM and see what that lists. I've been using VM's on VirtualBox and VMWare for quite some time, and though I've seen other issues (related to VM'ing in general) I've not seen what you're describing here.

I fear the problem might be between the keyboard and the chair

LOL!

OMG. Is it too hard to check an image's resolution/size?

No.

I fear the Problem in this case is be between YOUR Keyboard and YOUR chair.

/e: BTW the values are ALWAYS 1085x737.

cannot confirm:

If it works on a real PC, then it's a bug with VMware and not PureBasic.
