VM Workstation 11 Continually freezes while using Wind River Workbench

I am using Wind River Workbench, a Java based IDE, on a VM that is Windows 7 with Workstation 11. While I type in the IDE, very, very often, the entire display freezes. It is only when I move the mouse that it unfreezes and seems to redraw.  I have used the exact same VM/Workstation combo on a different PC with no problems. I understand it may be this new (well, technically old) PC that I am now using, but was wondering if anyone had any ideas why either my display or graphics driver seems to go to sleep occasionally while I type out code, only to be awoken when I move the mouse.

Yes. At least the only option I have is to Reinstall it, and copy-paste and other functionality works fine.
