Hi Anastasia,

I think this is the problem with the video card driver, if you update the 
driver the problem might be gone.
It is likely there are two video cards in your system, when you run VMware the 
system invokes one of
them (likely the one build in with  CPU). So I wonder if you can disable the 
other one and give it a try.

In the white bg display, could you send a screenshot of the map lines problem?
