Vmware windows seven issues

I don't know where to post a thread like this, since this is a problem for a very specific situation. I am running windows 7 over a Virtual Machine through VMware, and I am using it to run windows apps that I can't run through wine, especially Ableton, which doesn't support Linux. I can run it through wine, but there's very limited VST support, which means I have to run it on Windows.
The program runs fine, but there are some issues that I'm sure they can be fixed somehow.
Scrolling through and zooming in on the project is erratic and incredibly inaccurate, as well as unpredictable. Every time I press a key on my keyboard to play a note on a virtual instrument, the note I press just repeats itself instead of holding it, which should be the instruments' behaviour. How can I fix these issues?. I understand the keyboard one is fine if one would write, since if we hold a key, the key will just keep being printed on the screen, but not for playing MIDIS, where we use the pc keyboard as a synthesizer.

I apologize if this forum does not allow for posts like these, but I don't have another forum to post it on that seems relevant, and I'm not the kind of person who creates accounts on forums just to ask one question, then disappears.

Try increasing the resources that VMWare makes available to the virtual machine. For example, make sure that the vm has enough memory. Your computer has 8GB of RAM, so give half of that to the vm. Also, make sure that sufficient hard drive space is available to the vm, so that when you run Windows 7, it has lots of free space on its virtual hard drive.
