Hello everyone I have installed the VMware Fusion 4.1 but when I FullScreen VMware Fusion 4.1. I get the black bars on the top and bottom. I am not sure how to fix this issue, I getting this issue with the Win 7 x64 Virtual Machine and Mac OS X Lion at the same time. I got this issue after updating to VMware Fusion 4.1. When I exit from the FullScreen everything ok but I am facing this issue on the FullScreen. Can anyone suggest on this issue and so that I can solve mine issue.

Hello I have VMware Fusion 4.1 and I am not facing any issue with FullScreen. I think there might be something wrong with your VMware tools and so therefore your getting this issue and so I would like to suggest you to make reinstall the VMware tools and after that make sure your getting the issue or not. Even I think there must be something wrong with tools configuration. Just try to reinstall the all tools again.

Hello thanks for the replies but this doesn’t help me to solve mine issue. I have tried to reinstall the VMware tools several times but still facing the same issue. Even I have tried reinstalling the whole OS before doing a VMware tools reinstall but this doesn’t fixed mine issue.

Now I think you should post your vmware.log showing the problem. Just turn on the virtual machine, switch it in and out of full-screen a many times so that you are considering the black bars at the same time as in FullScreen and after that shutdown the virtual machine. Now again turn on and locate to the for vmware.log file and attach log file in next reply..

Ok to solve this you need to go through the below steps: first close the virtual machine and along with the Fusion closed. Now on the guest machine go to the below location:

'~/Library/Preferences/VMware Fusion/preferences'

Now on the preferences file you just need to remove the below code:

pref.autoFitFullScreen = fitHostToGuest

Now make sure your able to see full-screen view on guest OS.
