Windows 7: Excel in VMWare locks up when focus grabbed by main OS

Excel in VMWare locks up when focus grabbed by main OS

I am calculating some large excel workbooks using 64-bit office on 64-bit Windows 7 Pro using VMware. What happens is every time an outlook reminder or similar pops up on the main OS the focus is grabbed from VMware and when I go back to it Excel is just completely locked up. Only solution is to end the process and lose all the work.



Any suggestion how to stop this would be appreciated
