I am having an issue with Workstation 7 (Final), where as when Aero Glass is enabled, there are video distortions throughout the screen when moving around. See the attached file for example.

This problem was actually in the RC as well and I figured it was a bug, but it is now occuring in the Final version.

Here are my specs...

Host System: Windows XP x64 SP2
CPU: Intel Q6600
RAM: 8GB DDR2-1066

VM: Windows 7
RAM: 2GB Assigned
CPU: (4) Cores Assigned
Video: Auto detect (With Accelerate 3D Graphic - Use host settings)
Virtualization Engine: Intel VT-x or AMD-V (This issue also happened when I had it on Auto)

Is anyone else experiencing this issue? (See attached screenshot) I am only using the trial now, but if I can't get Aero working properly, I am content with Workstation 6.5.x which I already own.

Thanks in advance.

Do you have the latest ATI Catalyst driver installed on the host system?
