VMWare player capturing CTRL-ALT-DEL when attempting to log into host

Hi all,

 

I have an issue with VMWare player. I have several virtual machines and was running one when I logged off my machine. It is possible that the VM was the active window when locking my workstation. When I try to log back in, CTRL-ALT-DEL on the host does not work. I believe the VM is capturing the key combination.

 

The workaround I have for this situation atm is to RDP in from another machine, disconnect, then I can use CTRL-ALT-DEL to unlock locally again.

 

Version of VMWare Player being used is 5.0.1. Host machine is Win7 x64 (with latest MS patches as of yesterday). Virtual was Win7 x64 or x86 (can't remember specifically - I was running both during that day).

 

Kind regards,

Marc
