I see posts re problems with 7 being 'slow' but not sure if this is the same issue:
I have Yosemite 10.10.1 and was running VMWF 6.0.5, which ran very well.
I 'upgraded' to 7.1 based upon the promise of "a whole set of incredible new features" and "Even Better Performance" and "And with powerful 3D graphics and support for OpenGL 2.1 and DirectX 9.0c Shader Model 3 graphics, Fusion 7 will make running highly demanding 3D applications like AutoCAD or SolidWorks a breeze"
The appeal of improved graphics performance was the greatest enticement.
However, the video performance is terrible: jerky video files and software that uses a virtual reality generated simulator now so laggy that it is unusable.
Looking at Windows Experience Index with 7.1:
- Graphics 2.9
- Gaming graphics 3.5
With 6.0.5 on the same machine with same Mac OS X:
- Graphics 5
- Gaming graphics 4.5
I have:
- Ensured that I have VMWare Tools correct
- Reset PRAM on the host computer.
- Not tinkered with any of the default settings in VMWare
- Not made ANY changes to the guest OS (W7Pro 32) or the applications I run on it.
I've had to rip 7.1 out and reinstall 6.0.5, simply to 'use' the VM.
Is there a solution to this?
