Hello, I noticed while when vmware player is open, if I plug a mouse/keyboard/usb flash drive, it is not recognised for some reason, it can be only after vmware is closed. Unfortunately, I forgot that and disconnected my keyboard and mouse (both usb) for some reason while vmware was open and now I'm stuck and I don't want to hard reboot my computer if possible.
Right now my computer is in stand by mode, if I switch it on it's on the login screen. So far the only trick I found is switching off the power supply while the computer is in stand by mode and there when I switch it on I can go in the bios for example where the keyboard does work but stop working as soon as I leave it (can't even switch num lock) where it reboot from hibernate.
Didn't tried a ps/2 keyboard yet, I don't know if this would help but I wish there are other solutions.
My computer is on windows 7 64-bit, I use the last version of vmware player and I run a windows xp 32-bit sp3 with it.
Thank for your help
