You can also try to run the vmware-vmrc executable directly as described in this post: http://communities.vmware.com/message/1717705#1717705 -Andy On Wed, Jun 8, 2011 at 2:57 AM, Cameron Seay <cws...@gmail.com> wrote: > Has anyone seen this error when trying to run the remote console using > vmware 2.0 and Firefox 3.6? > > "Cannot access virtual machine console.
