VMware Products and Screen Savers

When host screen savers activate while a virtual machine is running, several problems can occur:

Some reasons why these issues may occur include:

Typing some keystrokes should deactivate the screen saver, although if it cannot get priority to run, the machine may take several minutes to appear to respond. Pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del and waiting for the security panel to appear may speed this process.

VMware recommends that if you are having this problem you should disable the screen saver.
