#CAPTURE ONE PRO 12 DUAL MONITOR WORKSPACE UPGRADE#
I do know, however, that none of the updates to v9 has resolved the issue nor has today's upgrade to v10.0.0. I'm pretty sure it started with 9.0 but it MAY have gone back as far as the last edition of 8. I'm not sure what else I can tell you about it other than that this issue has been present since day one of running a Windows 7 guest inside Workstation. and the two LCD displays involved in this issue both connect to that card via VGA to DisplayPort adapter cables.

If it helps, the host PC uses an AMD FirePro V4900 graphics adapter. The host has 16GB of RAM and the troublesome guest OS has 4 GB reserved for it since this is where I perform the majority of my tasks. One guest uses two LCDs while the second guest uses a third. I typically only have two guests active at a time - both Win 7 Enterprise 64.

I have never run any beta versions of VMware Workstation and I always install the latest versions of the program as soon as the program notifies me that an upgrade is available. And, yes, I upgraded the client tools to the latest edition that accompanied the release of Workstation 10. However, it immediately performed the same trick when I returned from a meeting and unlocked my screensaver. When I was notified that v10 was just released I leapt at the upgrade in the hopes that, at last, there would be a resolution. I tried a complete un-install and re-install of the client tools in 9.0.2 and it had no effect. This will restore all normal functionality for the guest until the next time I leave the guest OS long enough for the screensaver to activate.
The only remedy, as cknerr described in the beta forum, is to exit full-screen mode, re-enter full-screen mode, and then switch back to the two-display layout. This was the same in v9 - it still showed that two displays were engaged. If I click the monitor layout button on that guest's command bar, it shows that the current mode is Layout 2 (dual-monitor) - even though it is only utilizing the first display. However, VMware Workstation still thinks that it's running on two displays. If I unlock the screensaver, I am returned to work on the guest with both displays active but within 10-20 seconds (without fail) the second display will suddenly revert to the host's wallpaper and my guest is left showing only on the first display. If I take a Windows 7 Enterprise 64 guest and expand it across two of my host's three displays (host is Windows7 Pro 64), everything is fine until the guest's screensaver kicks in. Now that I've switched to Workstation 10, it continues. It's been with me throughout all releases of Workstation 9 (through v9.0.2) once I started using Windows 7 for the guest OS on this host. I have the EXACT same issue that was described by user "cknerr" in the beta forum.
