Hi,
Copy paste failures have been an issue since .... forever.
What I have done in my guests is to create a few scripts that reset the vmware tools service binaries once it happens and that seems to fix it.
There's one script that is very clean as it restarts the vmware tools service (just like using restart in the task manager), but it does not always work.
This one does.
Just create a file called fixClipboard.bat with notepad and put these lines in it:
taskkill /F /IM vmtoolsd.exe
"C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Tools\vmtoolsd.exe" -n vmusr
The taskkill command will complain that it could not kill one vmtoolsd process (which is correct), but it could kill another one.
It will stop on the last line... you can close the DOS window.
Then wait 60 seconds or so and copy & paste works again.
