SVGA II driver under WIndows 7 Guest

My Windows 7 32-bit guest operating systems sometimes hung while I worked with GUI from a console of the vSpere clent. I have found out that after uninstalling the "SVGA II driver" from VMWare Tools the problem was solved (it was also confirmed by a knowledge base article), but without the driver, the console is agonizingly slow. Do you have any idea when I can get a fixed/beta SVGA driver that doesn't hang the Windows 7? Thank you very much in advance?

If in RDP oprions choose option "allow connection to all clients". Moreover RDP doesn`t require IPSec, it uses RCA encryption (standart option) and TLS (enhaced). If you running over WAN, yes in this case vSphere is better - it needs less bandwidth.

Thank you very much for your reply.

I'm working through RDP, but it is not as convinient as vSphere client.

RDP requires IPSEC or stunnel to protect communicaion.

Also, I have found out that in my case vSphere client is faster than RDP over stunnel.
