zenOn and VMware Workstation

zenOn and VMware Workstation

Dear Sirs,
there is a strange problem with zenon installed in the host OS and VMware workstation v6.5.2. If I start zenon editor on the host while any guest machine in VMware workstation is running, zenon editor can't open !? It does appear in the list of processes and you can see it's process listed indefinitely, however it's window never opens. If you at any later moment shutdown all guest machines and close VMware, zenon editor window "magically" appears immediatelly after closing VMware. Another strange thing: if you open the VMware workstation and start any guest machine while zenon editor is already running, than everything is fine.
The same problem applies to zenon v6.21 sp1, 6.22sp0 and 6.50sp0 (all these versions installed on the host OS in parallel).
My host is Windows 7 (6.1.7600).
Any ideas?
