Simplified words here:
I'm using VMware Workstation 8.0.2 now and with Windows 7 x64 guest in it with the 3D accelerating, The VMtools 8.8 also installed in. Here is the issue:
If i played a video file with the windows media player for half an hour(without intterrupted and switched to another video), the video would freezed and switched rapidly betweens a frame and its next one but kept playing sound correctly. when that happened, if i resize the player's window, instead of adjusting the size of the video, the video surface would disappear totally, just the black colour filled with the player's window. but the buttons on the player just kept normally drawed and function also. if i drag the player's progress bar to anywhere, the video surface would come back again. it could be the issue of the vmtools' video driver because it became free of such problem AFTER i replaced the video driver with the OLD ONE FOR VMware7.1.4 SVGA.
There is something wrong in the new video drivers that process directdraw incorrectly.
The main system is the Windows7 x64 on the intel P55 i7-860, 8GBytes RAM, Geforce GTX470 forceware 295.73.
