Just something to check:

We've had some issues along these lines, and have found that VMware's level of 
OpenGL support was to blame.  I think it can only do basic OGL (i.e., software 
mode), and anything newer or fancier (like hardware shading) will cause the 
application to crash within a virtual machine.  In our particular case, if we 
disable advanced OGL features like hardware shading, then our application will 
run in a VMware image.

(In this case, I'm referring to VMware v7 and above.)
