Please help - how to stop VMware player dropping out of full-screen mode

I have just upgraded to VMware player 4.0.0 on Windows 7 64 bit host.

I am running Windows XP as guest OS - I run the guest in full-screen mode.

 

Since upgrading to version 4, everytime my host OS goes-into/comes-out-of screensaver, or if I select something from the VMware UI banner at the top of the guest OS in full-screen mode, VMware drops out of full-screen mode and forces my guest back to a very small screen size, therefore forcing all my guest windows to tiny sizes and overlapping. This is very fustrating.

 

I think this is a bug as it does not happen in version 3.1.4.

Is there any way I can prevent the guest OS from resizing, even if VMware drops out of full-screen mode and shrinks to a small window?

 

I have tried setting the resolution inside the guest OS manually whilst not in full-screen mode and that works OK until I close and restart VMware, then the problem is back again.

 

Thanks for any suggestions...
