I'm not seeing the issue in the screen shots.

I'm going to guess you have a full screen and that the game isn't matching the resolution that you have full screen set to.

My guess (and this is only a guess) is that the vmware tools, dont' allow for 32bit color at the high resolution you maybe wanting and thus the game is going to the size it needs.
