I have same problems here. My OS is windows 7 x64, and the vmware session was xp with 6.5 tools. After installing 7 tools it still doesn't work. It seems the calculation of coordinates is not correct !

Found the problem.

Just turn the 125% setting back to 100% in Windows 7 and the mouse cursor works correctly.

"Make it easier to read what's on your screen"...... what is easier...

and

"Make text and other items larger or smaller"

VMWARE BUG !

We're aware of this issue with non-standard DPI settings. We don't have a workaround right now.
