Black screen on guest OS when switching from one Virtual machine to another.

Hi,

I use 2 to 3 Virtual machines at the same time(Win7 guest) on a Win7 host, and I have noticed(after upgrade from VMWare 8 to 9), that when I switch from one machine to another, a black screen is displayed (for 2-3 seconds) on the guest OS before the actual contents is displayed.

Has someone else is having this issue?

Thanks in advance,

Omar Zelaya

I am experiencing the same issue. This did not happen in previous version of Workstation. Very annoying when moving quckly between machines.

Any solutions out there?

Version 9.0.1 build-894247

Same problem here.

Also today the screen stays black.

The VM is running (I see it in the Network Traffic) but minimizing or resizing the VMware Window doesnt bring the screen back.

P.S.

After suspending the VM and restarting from suspend state the screen reappears.
