Hi,
The display drivers that come with VMware tools for VMware Workstation 11 are too old and had this side effect.
You can try disabling 3D on your guest.
If that doesn't help then you can try installing a recent vmware tools. Beware that installing a newer vmware tools as came with Workstation 11 is not supported, although it most likely works.
Not that VMware workstation 11 is still supported.
The latest VMware Tools can be found here: http://www.vmware.com/go/tools
