i can copy and paste text and files between Virtuelle Maschine (Windows 7) and my local Windows 7. But I can't copy this what is in clipboard - for example between two displays the same program (on display in Virtuale Maschine and second display in local Windows).

I have no option: VM > Options tab > Guest Isolation > Enable the Copy and paste

In VMWare Workstation it's worked but not in VMWare Player. How to fix it ?

EDIT: This is my routine now to fix it:

VM:

$ apt-get autoremove open-vm-tools $ apt-get install open-vm-tools $ apt --fix-broken install

Close VM.

In Windows Host:

echo off | clip

Start VM.

Hopefully works for you too.

If you have VMware Workstation Pro make sure you don't have it disabled in the settings: VM > Options tab > Guest Isolation > Enable the Copy and paste

    The same information I founded in Google. But unfortunately I don't have options "Guest Isolation". Maybe Guest Isolation ist in wmware Workstation but not in Player ? – Luk May 25 '17 at 05:48
