For whatever reason I’ve had this problem more with Windows Server 2008 R2, not so much with non R2 version. Anyway, here is how you fix it:
1. install VMWare Tools on your virtual machine and reboot
2. VMWare tools should have created the folder: C:\Program Files\Common Files\VMware\Drivers\wddm_video
3. go to Device Manager, to your video adapter and select “Update driver”
4. when asked for the files, navigate to the folder above and reboot
