vmware tools: 9.2.2 build 893683 installed

problem: can't cut , paste or drag , drop files host guest. before installing vm player 5 , briefly when first installed new player.

when copy file folder on host , move guest window , click on engage mouse in guest system , paste, dialogue box host comes showing folder , contents being copied when process complete folder not appear in guest system, file folder pasting files displays windows wait icon , virtual cpu shoots 100% , remains there without completing until force shutdown.
