While creating a new virtual machine with the "New Virtual Machine Wizard" If I select(click) the "Customize Hardware)  The entire VMWare Workstation interface crashes.

I have recently upgraded to Workstation 12 pro. Since then all my virtual machines are unable to invoke the drop down tool bar when in full screen. I am using a windows 7 ultimate 64bit host with dual screens. I utilize the Workstation on one monitor while leaving the other monitor free (usually to read documentation while I use the VM to test various things) Additionally  Ctrl+Alt+Enter does not drop me back out of Full Screen. Is any one else experiencing this? TIA

This is a strange one. I am running Workstation 10.0.1 Build 1379776 My Host System is Windows 7 Ultimate with Service Pack 1 (all Available updates) I have a number of VM's that I use for testing. (all the way back to windows 3.1 and forward to 8.1) I use these VM's as a baseline  (I keep them updated) and when I need to test something I make a linked clone and run my tests Today I was going through and running windows update on my VM's and I discovered that my "Vista" VM's cannot get to the internet. (Vista Home Premium, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate) They can "Ping" numeric addresses on the internet but not names (ie  pinging www.yahoo.com does not work and pinging 98.139.180.149 does) Oddly I cannot browse to http://98.139.180.149 either. I can both ping and browse to the addresses in my host Windows 7 machine. My other VM's are working perfectly, Windows 2000, XP, 7, 8 and 8.1 I have tried reinstalling VM tools.  resetting the network adapters. (all my VM's are set for NAT)  and I even tried switching the networking to bridge to see if that had any affect (No). I even went so far as to recreate a new Vista Business VM from scratch. and I have the same issue (so that tells me it isn't a windows update or mis-configured or corrupt networking) I have not updated VMWare recently and the updater says  I have the latest version. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
