I recently migrated from VPC to VMWare Workstation. So far all looks good only one problem I faced two days ago. When I run Visual Studio 2010 (Beta 2), the menu rendering was odd, text in code editor was disappearing and so on. After some searching I found, that it may be caused by 3D graphics acceleration turned on in VMWare Workstation. Surprisingly you have to turn it off – either in system, setting DisableHWAcceleration in registry (it’s for WPF) or unchecking the 3D acceleration in VM’s settings. After this adjustment (my choice was the VM level, as it may be improved later and it’s IMO easier to turn it on), all works great. I hope when the RTM of Visual Studio 2010 will be released, this will work as expected.

Měl jsi nainstalované VMWare tools (nebo se to jmenuje utilities?)? Ty výrazně zlepšují výkon grafiky.

It’s still in VMWare 7? Uff. This bug is on VMWare side for 2 years and I think that new (RTM) version of VS2010 doesn’t help.

I don’t blame VS. I just hope
that either VMWare or VS will found some way to make it work properly.
