Hi,
I just installed vmware player on a Dell M3800 6.0.4 build-2249910 16GB windows 8.1 64-bit build 6.3.9600, which supports 3200x1800 resolution.
When expanding the screen manually, up to a limit of approx 2800 res, I can see my Windows Server 2012 OS 8GB.
Above that limit, and in full screen VMWare player shows a black screenn.
Any and all suggestions welcome. It would be nice to work in full screen with VMPlayer again.
I was able to work full screen on my Win 7 machine.
